FAQ

Even though the process to acquire the syrup is the same, not all maple syrup is organic! To be certified organic, every maple syrup producer should follow sustainable practices, from how the trees are tapped and sap collected to how the syrup is stored and even how the trees and the land around are taken care of.

Maple syrup is 100% natural! It is just the sap from the tree that is boiled and packaged in a bottle. You wouldn't find additives, preservatives, or artificial coloring added to the syrup. It is, however, best to check on the label for better clarity.

If unopened, maple syrup can last for a prolonged period, but once you open it, it lasts for about a year when stored in a cool, dry place or the refrigerator. If you notice a musty or off smell or taste, the maple syrup has likely gone bad.

When unopened, maple syrup does have a long shelf life. But, once opened, it should be refrigerated. Refrigeration prevents the maple syrup from forming bacteria, mold, and all the nasties and helps it be in its best condition. Always keep it chilled!

Maple harvest is an important part of the culture and heritage of many people in Canada, and people even have festivities around it. While most associate maple with fall, maple sap is collected from trees in the later winter and early spring. The collection season lasts 4-6 weeks, after which the sap is boiled to produce syrup.

Unlike other things which catch mold and you need to discard it, the situation here can be saved! This is because the sugar content in maple syrup is so high, so the mold forms in the top layer and not within. You can easily scoop out the mold, pour the maple into a pan, boil it and reuse it again. This method is age-old and has been used for generations.

Maple syrup comes from the maple trees, and it is from the trees that the sap is collected during the winter and early spring. The sap is boiled to remove all traces of water so that just the sweet delicious syrup is left. Maple syrup is produced in Canada.

Pure maple is jam-packed with vitamins and minerals and is an excellent source of manganese and a good source of riboflavin, calcium, thiamin, potassium, and copper. It is also a natural sweetener, so it is best when consumed in moderation in your diet.
