NATURAL HEALTH BENEFITS FROM MAPLE SYRUP
Syrup is very good for you because it has a lot of good stuff in it. This natural sweetener is known to be a significant source of several nutrients, including riboflavin, zinc, magnesium, calcium, potassium and manganese, which plays an integral role in energy production and normal brain and nerve function.
Maple syrup goes through little to no processing. It is a natural, non-refined product which gives it an edge over other sweetening agents.
Maple syrup is starting to be put into that super food category along with blueberries, red wine, green tea and dark chocolate.
