Why it is really just a myth that Grade B is better than Grade A Maple Syrup!! What is the real difference? Maple tree’s sap runs from late winter to spring. Maple syrup is graded by color and the earlier sap is a much lighter color (grade a) than the sap collected later in the spring (grade b). The darker sap creates a syrup that has a stronger, deeper flavor. But more nutrients? NO All PURE maple syrup is made the same way. It seems that some people thought that since Grade B was darker, it was less refined. But no pure maple syrup is “refined” so that simply isn’t true. They both contain many beneficial nutrients, including minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and iron. Pure maple syrup is not raw but is a natural sweetener that many raw recipes use. I will say, I use less when I choose Grade B because it does have a deeper flavor but other than that, there is no difference (nutrient wise) with Grade B and Grade A other than the color. Get some today and try it with this amazing salad!! Peach and Kale Salad with Maple Miso Vinaigrette • 1 large bunch kale • 2 peaches, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces • 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped Vinaigrette • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Grade B • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar • 2 teaspoons light miso (white or yellow) • Himalayan salt and pepper 1. Remove stems from kale and tear into bite-sized pieces. Place in large bowl. 2. Prepare vinaigrette by whisking all ingredients together in a small bowl. 3. Pour vinaigrette over kale and give it a really good massage. The idea here is to massage the dressing into the leaves and break down the leaves a bit. This step is crucial. 4. Toss with peaches and pecans.
