What is Maple Sugar?

Maple sap is harvested from trees and then made into maple syrup by boiling off water, which increases the sugar content. Once the sugar content has reached 66%, a critical chemical reaction occurs, which darkens the syrup and provides its characteristic taste. At this stage, the syrup is done and is removed to cool.

To produce maple sugar, the sap continues to be boiled until enough moisture has evaporated to allow for crystallization. At this stage, it's vigorously stirred (either by hand or by machine) until it turns completely granulated. It takes approximately one quart of syrup to produce about 2 pounds of granulated maple sugar.

Our 100% pure granulated Vermont Maple Sugar is much more flavorful than white sugar.
