Description

Light maple syrup is a natural liquid sweetener, known for its mild and delicate flavor with a sweet and slightly woody touch. It is obtained from the sap of the sugar maple tree, a tree native primarily to Canada and the northeastern United States. This syrup is one of the most iconic products of North American and Canadian cuisine, especially appreciated in cooking to sweeten breakfasts like pancakes, waffles, and oatmeal, as well as in the preparation of desserts and sauces.

Regarding its properties, light maple syrup is rich in antioxidants and minerals such as manganese, zinc, and calcium. Unlike refined sugar, it provides a characteristic natural flavor and contributes essential nutrients, although it should be consumed in moderation due to its sugar content.

In different Hispanic American countries, light maple syrup may also be known as maple honey or maple syrup, although these terms may vary regionally. In general, this ingredient is valued for its ability to provide unique sweetness and aroma in both sweet and savory recipes.
