Unfortunately, Big Food has taken over and even a simple, delicious treat as maple syrup has been corrupted and most of the syrups today are totally fake! It is then boiled to evaporate the water producing syrup with the characteristic flavor and color of maple syrup and sugar content of 60%.” I have never actually done that, but I read Little House in the Big Woods so many times as a child…so I feel like I have! 🙂Īccording to World's Healthiest Foods, “the sap is clear and almost tasteless and very low in sugar content when it is first tapped. In my mind, I have images of some frosty morning, gathering the sap and making the syrup. We all know, somewhere in the back of our brains, that maple syrup comes from maple sap from maple trees. They aren't real maple syrup folks! They are a combo of high fructose corn syrup, fake colors and artificial flavors…essentially poison, in my opinion! It got me to thinking how many people aren't really aware that most of these syrups that are sold at the store are NOT maple syrup at all! It is shocking to me because nowhere on the label do these products say ‘maple syrup' but most consumers do not know the difference. It has been years since I have bought that stuff, so I took a moment to read the ingredient label. It was expired, but I was going to toss it anyway. In the back of the refrigerator, I found 2 mostly empty bottles of Log Cabin syrup. I even found boxes of lime jello that expired in 2004 (I would have tossed those expired or not!) You know those mystery mustards, oils, random canned items. We took some time to clean out the refrigerator and pantry….Nothing was rotten, just tossing things that had expired, dressings that were mostly empty, etc. Last summer, my husband, daughter and I were staying at a mountain cabin we share with other family members. This post has been rattling around in my head for almost a year! I may receive a commission if you purchase something mentioned on this page.
