Maple syrup is one of Canada's most famous specialties, and seventy percent of the world's maple sugar products are now concentrated in Quebec. The sap from sugar maples over 40 years old is very valuable, and only 1 liter of maple syrup can be extracted from an average of 40 liters of maple syrup. Maple syrup has a delicious flavor and is a purely natural product, which is said to be very popular for its beauty and weight loss.

A maple tree 25 centimeters in diameter usually has only one hole drilled in it, giving it the ability to recuperate and rejuvenate. Large maple trees that are many years old can usually have 3-4 holes drilled, with the holes going 5 centimeters deep into the white body of the trunk, where the sap flows down a conduit to the storage barrel. The temperature for boiling maple syrup is usually kept at 4 degrees Celsius above the boiling point of water. The right temperatures are needed to harvest maple sap, and the annual maple sugar harvesting season takes place over a 4-6 week period between February and April, and temperatures can only be harvested if they are below 0 degrees Celsius at night and above 5 degrees Celsius during the day.
Before 1600, the "Indian syrup" has begun to record, it is the Indians first discovered the maple sap, and with the "local method" in the maple tree trunk trenching, drilling holes to collect maple sap. The "Indian syrup" of that time is the predecessor of today's "maple syrup". Maple sugar is rich in minerals, organic acids, and has fewer calories than sucrose, fructose, and corn sugar, but it contains much more calcium, magnesium, and organic acids than other sugars, which can replenish a weak body with unbalanced nutrition. Maple sugar is not as sweet as honey, with a sugar content of about 66 percent (honey contains about 79 to 81 percent sugar, and granulated sugar up to 99.4 percent).
The most common maple sugar product is maple syrup, and people love to eat pancakes and French toast dipped in syrup, as well as topping ice cream, yogurt and milkshakes with syrup. Canadians also like to eat maple sugar on top of snow, which is icy and sweet, with a softer texture, and a pleasant sensation of snow and sugar slowly sliding down the throat.
Maple syrup can be divided into several different sugar content, and therefore different uses: some suitable for making hard candy and cream, some suitable for direct consumption, some suitable for cooking. In fact, maple syrup has many uses in cooking, but it is not well known, such as foie gras drizzled with maple syrup is a favorite delicacy of connoisseurs. There are many other maple sugar products, such as maple butter, maple jelly (which smells delicious and is perfect for spreading on toasted bread, and even better with a little cheese), hard candies, granulated sugar, maple-sugar mustards, maple jams, and marshmallows, to name just a few.
Canada has a famous dish called "maple-sweetened salmon": the salmon is marinated in peppercorns and cinnamon, pan-fried, topped with mashed potatoes and julienned vegetables, and then drizzled with maple sugar. It's a dish of protein, starch, vitamins, and fiber, and the lingering aroma of maple sugar from the trees is the soul of the dish.
