  • Color and style. Choose the grade or flavor style you prefer without treating it as a health ranking.
  • Flavor additions. Check infusions, extracts and other sweeteners.

How to choose maple syrup

Choose pure maple syrup or a flavored syrup according to the taste and recipe you want. Read the complete list to distinguish maple syrup from pancake syrup and from maple blends with added flavors.

Color and grade help describe the syrup style rather than proving a healthier product. Compare bottle amounts using the same unit and check refrigeration instructions after opening; maple syrup still contributes sugar.
