COOKING HEALTHY WITH MAPLE SUGAR

COOK HEALTHY WITH MAPLE SUGAR

You can replace sugar by maple sugar syrup in your recipes.

other liquids in the recipe by % cup (60ml)

IS ALL SUGAR THE SAME?

Sugar, corn syrup and maple syrup... Are they all the same?

Not really! Although all three are sweetening agents, maple syrup
contains more vitamins and minerals than its two distant cousins.

A 60 millilitre (1/4 cup) portion of maple syrup provides 100%

of the recommended daily allowance of manganese, 37% of riboflavin,
18% of zinc, 7% of magnesium and 5% of calcium and potassium.
