TFA blurb
Maple syrup is a syrup made from the sap of some maple trees. In cold climates, these trees convert starch stored in their trunks and roots into sugar in the sap, which is tapped in late winter and early spring by drilling holes into the trunks. Maple syrup was first made by the Indigenous peoples of Northeastern North America. Virtually all of the world's supply still comes from Canada and the United States, with Quebec recently accounting for more than 90 per cent of Canada's production. Syrup is graded based on colour and taste, and must be made entirely (in Canada) or almost entirely (in the US) from maple sap to qualify as maple syrup. It is often used as a condiment for pancakes, waffles, French toast, oatmeal, or porridge. It is also used as an ingredient in baking and as a sweetener or flavouring agent. Culinary experts have praised its unique flavour, although the chemistry responsible is not fully understood.
