Organic maple syrup is a natural sweetener derived from the sap of the sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum). While this sap is often boiled into a sticky, sweet, amber-colored syrup, we've taken this process a step further and boiled this substance until all of its water content is evaporated. This leaves behind the crystalized remains of maple syrup, which are then turned into a convenient powder form.
According to a study that appeared in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, organic maple sugar powder is a healthier and more nutritious alternative to processed sugar and artificial sweeteners. This is likely because, unlike refined sugars, maple sugar powder still retains most of its antioxidant and mineral content. Some of the nutrients found in organic maple sugar powder include manganese, zinc, amino acids, magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, copper, phosphorus and at least 30 different antioxidants, such as quebecol.
Additionally, organic maple sugar powder is much sweeter than regular table sugar, which means you only need to use a comparatively smaller amount to achieve the same level of sweetness. Made from 100% pure organic maple syrup, our Health Ranger Select Organic Maple Sugar Powder is a pale beige to light brown powder with a mild maple scent and flavor. It provides the wholesome goodness of pure maple flavor in a convenient and shelf-stable form.
