It’s more than just a topping for pancakes.
This downloadable education guide in MS Word provides an overview of the production, grading and flavor of real maple syrup. Focuses of study include storage, cooking and baking, nutrition, a tasting sensory profile, a classroom activity, discussion questions and additional research and resources.
Upon completion of this guide and tasting, the student will have a basic understanding of maple-syrup production and maple products available, and will be able to differentiate real maple syrup from maple-flavored table syrups.
