Benefits and Nutritional Value

Unlike many syrups and sugars, all maple syrup products are 100% natural and completely unrefined. In addition to preserving all the nutritional value of the maple sap, they contain vitamins and nutrients that are an essential part of our daily nutritional requirements.

Its unique taste and full mouth feel is particularly satisfying. As it is rich in amino acids and nucleotides, it helps ward off hunger by interacting with the mouth’s taste receptors and the stomach.

Low glycemic index

All the sweetness without any side effects

Even if maple syrup is sweet, it nonetheless has a low glycemic index (GI), the scale on which foods are rated for their effect on blood sugar levels.

An acceptable level is a GI of 55 or less. With a GI of only 54 (compared with 58 for white sugar and 75 for corn syrup) maple syrup is the ideal sweetener for people who are watching their sugar intake, those on low-sugar diets and even diabetics.

Rich in antioxidants

Strengthen your immune system, with antioxidant-rich maple syrup

Maple syrup is different from other sweeteners due to its high vitamin, trace element and polyphenols content. It is considered in the same class as fruits and vegetables known for their antioxidant properties.
