有机认证枫糖浆

为什么

枫糖浆是糖枫树液经蒸发浓缩而成。唯一的注意事项是消泡：传统生产商有时会添加少量牛奶、奶油或猪油来控制煮沸时的泡沫，而大多数现代操作则使用植物油或机械消泡剂。

What is actually in it

Producing a litre of syrup takes roughly forty litres of sap boiled down, and boiling sap foams hard. Historically sugarmakers dropped in a pat of butter, a splash of cream or a piece of salt pork to break the foam — a tiny quantity, burned off, but animal-derived. Reverse osmosis and vegetable-oil or synthetic defoamers have largely replaced that in commercial operations, and organic certification under both USDA and Canadian rules prohibits animal-based defoamers, which makes organic the reliable choice for anyone who wants certainty. Grading is unrelated to vegan status: golden, amber, dark and very dark reflect harvest timing and colour, not additives, with darker grades giving stronger flavour for baking. Nutritionally maple syrup is still sugar — about 67% sucrose — but it carries manganese, zinc and a set of polyphenols absent from refined sugar, and it avoids the bone-char question that hangs over some cane sugar. Watch for the imitation aisle: 'maple-flavoured syrup' is usually glucose-fructose syrup, sometimes with butter flavour or milk derivatives.
