Real Maple Syrup

The next time you buy syrup – go ahead and splurge on the real thing.

Real maple syrup is expensive – but it’s got some good stuff in there. It’s a rich source of manganese and zinc which can boost energy levels and even stave off aging. Maple syrup is organic and naturally sweet – and it’s actually got LESS calories than sugar.

Maple syrup is unique because it’s the only commercial product that comes from a plant’s sap. Because it’s located just below the bark and exposed to the sun, it’s high in antioxidants like those we get from eating brightly colored berries.
