Benefits of Maple: Nature's Sweetener
Maple sugar is a 100% natural organic food.

Maple sugar is 100% pure. There is no reduction, processing or removal
of anything, and there is no way to alter it.

Maple syrup has the same calcium content as whole milk with no fat
and only two-thirds as many calories as corn syrup.

Maple syrup contains a host of vitamins and manganese and zinc, two
natural antioxidants which are good for your immune system,
cardiovascular system, male reproductive systems. It's like taking a
multivitamin that tastes good!

Maple syrup has a low glycemic index value (54), according to the
original Glycemic Index of the University of Sydney.

Maple syrup is better for you than processed sugar. Sugar doesn't
digest, but rather goes directly into the blood stream causing a rise in
blood sugar. Usually the swift rises are then followed by a sharp decline.
Maple syrup, however, is one of the few sweet treats that does digest in
the system helping to keep the blood sugar more even. So it not only
tastes good, but is also good for you. We use maple syrup all the time
as a sugar alternative.
