Maple syrup

Our ancestors consumed maple syrup as part of their daily diet.
Maple syrup is the sap of the maple tree. It is pure, and is thickened by heating without any additives. Forty litres of sap will produce one litre of syrup.
It contains indispensable minerals needed for our bodies.
Its special characteristic is that it is broken down very slowly by our system, so it takes a long time to reach the bloodstream. This can be a very important factor when consumed by hyperactive children.
Certain types of diabetics are able to consume it under medical supervision as a sweetener.
Everyone has heard of the ACER diet, the essence of which is that at the end of the diet, the body does not try to compensate rapidly for the weight loss.
Maple syrup is widely used in Canada in the daily diet. It is used in many specialities: meat, pasta, fruit, and confectionary.
There are countless references on the Internet to the maple tree, and recipes on the use of maple syrup. They can be found under the headings of Maple syrup and Cranberry.
