Maple syrup is classified from Grade A (lightest) to Grade D (darkest). Darker syrups are generally more suitable for cooking, although some prefer the lighter ones. The darkness of maple syrup indicates its intensity, richness in minerals, and vitamins. The grading system ranges from light (Grade A) to the darkest (Grade D) color. Darker syrups also have a higher proportion of invert sugar, a user-friendly sweetener with a honey-like consistency, as they do not crystallize as easily. These syrups are recommended when maintaining a liquid consistency is desired, such as in baking. They can be used in a variety of recipes, like pastries, morning coffee, tea, sauces, etc. Source: Manufacturer/distributor, July 2017.
