April is the month when the maple sap tends to flow the most, driven by the freeze-thaw cycles of early spring. The maples have stored last summer’s sunshine in their roots all winter, and now they are sending this nourishment up to their swelling leaf buds.

We intercept a small amount of this rich liquid, full of trace minerals and antioxidants, which we then concentrate further in the finished maple syrup, making it probably the healthiest sweetener out there!

The health benefits of pure Canadian maple syrup are far more comprehensive than might be expected.

The only product in our diet coming directly from a plant’s sap, this natural sweetener features over 63 antioxidants with high levels of zinc and manganese, keeping the heart healthy and boosting the immune system.

It is not surprising that an increasing number of health-conscious consumers bypass white and brown sugar in the grocery store in favor of pure Canadian maple syrup!
