Maple syrup production is centred in northeastern North America; however, given the correct weather conditions, it can be made wherever suitable species of maple trees grow, such as New Zealand, where there are efforts to establish commercial production. [50] Climate change is dramatically impacting the production of maple syrup. [51] [52] [53]
The sugar maple is one of the most important Canadian trees, being, with the black maple, the major source of sap for making maple syrup. [24] Other maple species can be used as a sap source for maple syrup, but some have lower sugar content and/or produce more cloudy syrup than these two. [24] In maple syrup production from Acer saccharum, the ...
In a 2015 survey by The Washington Post it was found that 70% of Americans prefer using artificial syrups on their pancakes compared to real maple syrup largely in part due to its cheaper price. Maple syrup production is also limited to the Northeastern United States, giving Americans outside of that region less exposure to maple syrup. [7]
While the sugar concentration is about the same as in Acer saccharum (sugar maple), the flavor is somewhat different. Interest in commercially producing syrup from bigleaf maple sap has been limited. [28] Although not traditionally used for syrup production, it takes about 40 volumes of sap to produce 1 volume of maple syrup.

The theft a global strategic maple syrup preserve about two hours north of Montreal involved stealing about $18 million worth of maple syrup over several months in 2011 and 2012, making it one of ...
Nova Scotia has over 4 million ha of forest, which has always been an important part of the provincial economy. Common soft woods include Eastern white pine, spruce, and balsam fir, as well as hardwoods such as red maple, sugar maple and yellow birch. [5] Nova Scotia also has a well established maple syrup production. The heavy snowfall in 2015 ...
Maple sugar is what remains after the sap of the sugar maple is boiled for longer than is needed to create maple syrup or maple taffy. [10] Once almost all the water has been boiled off, all that is left is a solid sugar. [10] By composition, this sugar is about 90% sucrose, the remainder consisting of variable amounts of glucose and fructose. [11]
