Maple sugar is created when the
sap of the
sugar maple is boiled for longer than is needed to create
maple syrup or
maple taffee. Once almost all the water has been boiled off, all that is left is a solid sugar. This is usually sold in pressed blocks or as a translucent candy. It is difficult to create as the sugar easily burns and thus requires considerable skill. It was the preferred form of
First Nations/
Native American peoples as the sugar could easily be transported and lasted a long time. It is today used to flavor some maple products. Maple sugar is about twice as sweet as standard granulated
sugar.
