Maple in the RAW Grade B unfiltered Maple Syrup

[Guest guest]

at first we thought we would get no B this year and as I researched this I

have decided that I think Unfiltered Grade B would be my preference. Some

foodies call it Maple in the Raw.

Gallon jugs in glass find me if you want to order as farmer is coming in

the next week.

What is unfiltered maple syrup?

Maple Sap is tree's the primary source for nutrients. When the tree's root

system begins pumping sap up the trunk to feed the tree in early spring it

brings with it many nutrients and minerals (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin,

Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium,

Zinc, Copper, Manganese & Selenium). We collect the sap and boil off water

until the syrup reaches the proper density (66.7brix). During the boiling

process only the water evaporates. Not only does the sugar concentration

increase, so does the mineral concentration. These minerals begin to

collect to one another and form small granules (know to syrup makers as

" sugar sand " or niter). This " sugar sand " , given this name because of its

light blond color and slightly gritty texture, is then filtered out of the

maple syrup. Unless you have asked for it specifically from a producer, any

syrup you will find will be the filtered variety and look very clear.

In a nutshell unfiltered syrup is pure maple syrup with all the minerals

and nutrients that were present when the sap was collected from the tree.

It tastes the same and looks the same but will have a cloudy rather than

clear appearance.
