Maple bacon

Maple bacon is a delicious and versatile ingredient consisting of strips of traditionally cured bacon glazed with maple syrup, providing a sweet and smoky flavor that enhances any dish. This product combines the crispy and salty texture of bacon with the natural sweetness of maple syrup, creating a perfect balance ideal for breakfasts, brunches, or even to add a special touch to salads, sandwiches, and main courses.

The origin of maple bacon lies in North American cuisine, particularly in the United States and Canada, regions famous for both their bacon production and maple syrup. This combination is a classic North American breakfast, very popular in the gastronomy of places like New England and Quebec.

In terms of its properties, maple bacon provides a good amount of proteins and fats, essential for energy, but it should also be consumed in moderation due to its calorie and sodium content. Maple syrup adds natural sugars and minerals such as manganese and zinc, which contribute antioxidants and support the immune system.

In Latin America, although there is no exact synonym for "maple bacon," it is common to refer to this product simply as "maple-glazed bacon" or "bacon with maple syrup." Some regional variants use terms like "sweet bacon" to refer to the sugared version of bacon, although they do not always include authentic maple syrup.
