maple sugar

Maple sugar is the sugar extracted from the juice of the sugar maple. By drilling the trunks, one gains the juice from which maple syrup is first produced by evaporation. Upon further evaporation, the sugar crystallizes out. Partly slightly grainy to powdered, this sugar is ideal for sweetening drinks and pastries. Maple sugar in the purified state corresponds to the usual sugar in terms of its composition and properties. The smell is reminiscent of sweet wood / caramel. As Creme Brulee sugar it is not suitable. Under intense heat, the sugar begins to pearl first, then it burns immediately.
