There's nothing quite like maple syrup, sweet and nutritious it's a great way to add a bit of goodness to your morning breakfast. Maple syrup was first collected and used by the indigenous people of North America. The sweet syrup was then adopted and used by the European settlers, who eventually refined its production methods. The Canadian province of Quebec is the largest producer of maple syrup, producing about three quarters of the world's output. Vermont is the largest producer of maple syrup in the United States, generating about 5.5 percent of the global supply. Maple syrup is a syrup that is usually made from the xylem sap of sugar maple, red maple, or black maple trees, although it can also be made from other maple tree species. In cold climates, these maple trees store starch in their trunks and roots before the winter and the starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in the spring.
