There, it was first gleaned from the abundant maple tree... It was a popular substitute for cane sugar, as this had to be imported from the West Indies. Maple syrup is a substance that’s usually made from the xylem sap of a few different varieties of the maple tree, including the sugar maple, red maple, or black maple tree, In cold climates, these trees store starch in their trunks The starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in late winter and early spring . it can take a few trees just to produce one gallon of syrup. Canada now produces the vast majority of the world’s maple syrup supply with its total exports valued at more than $270 million.</p>
