Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between maple syrup and pancake syrup?

Pure maple syrup is made from maple tree sap and costs more. Pancake syrup is mostly corn syrup with maple flavoring. They are usually shelved in the same aisle but may be on different shelves.

Why is real maple syrup so expensive?

It takes about 40 gallons of maple sap to produce just 1 gallon of maple syrup. The labor-intensive tapping and boiling process makes pure maple syrup a premium product.

Does maple syrup need to be refrigerated?

Yes, pure maple syrup should be refrigerated after opening to prevent mold. Pancake syrup does not require refrigeration.
