Maple syrup in coffee flavor spectrum

Chinese seldom drink pure maple syrup. Here is a brief introduction. When you are an exotic sketch, you may be able to import some of your coffee shop as a collection in the future.

There are many benefits.

Spread equally to every American, the average person consumes 3 ounces of maple syrup a year. But considering that only 6.4% of Chinese are in the habit of eating maple syrup (2.5% in 2005). It means that there is a small group of Chinese who eat far more than those three ounces. I probably belong to that small group of maple syrup gluttons.

When I was a child, I knew the benefits of maple syrup: all natural, rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements (many of which are not found in corn syrup and sugar).

The American Chemical Society recently recommended at its annual meeting that pure natural maple syrup protects brain cells from Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's) and other brain diseases.

The story behind it.

The handsome guy Farrell (head of the natural resources department at Cornell University) told me that maple syrup capacity in New York has not yet been developed, with only 1% of the harvest, while Vermont is only 3%. Canada supplies 80% of the world's maple syrup capacity. He said that harvesting maple syrup is sustainable and that harvesting maple syrup with holes will not do any harm to maple trees. Studies have shown that trees harvested with holes every year live as long as trees that have never been harvested, but grow more slowly.

Most producers use the old-fashioned barrel harvesting method, while Farrell uses pipeline harvesting, linking 5,000 trees at the same time. This allows him to harvest 12-15 gallons of maple sap per minute. The harvesting efficiency has been greatly improved.

The fresh sap is collected into a collection tank, dehydrated with a reverse osmosis device, then boiled, and within an hour and a half the sap becomes syrup.

Farrell says birches can also be harvested with holes, and the syrup is not as delicious as maple syrup, but contains more vitamins and minerals. It is generally used to make health products and sell them. There are also market prospects.
