Canada produces 85% of the world's maple syrup.
Warm, sunny days and cold, frosty nights are ideal for producing sap flow.
It takes 30-50 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of maple syrup. I am too lazy to convert gallons to litres for us Canadian peeps, but just know that it takes a whole bunch of sap to get just a little bit of syrup.
Maple syrup is a healthier {natural} alternative to sugar.
The sugar content of sap is approximately 2.5%
The sugar content of maple syrup is approximately 66%
No wonder I can drink the stuff.
Just kidding.
Kinda.

Yum! Send some my way!! :)
Now I want pancakes. On a Monday morning.
I'll trade you some maple syrup for salsa.
I wonder, does Maple Syrup ever go bad once it is processed? Or does it have an expiration? Thanks
