Description
Granular Maple Sugar can be used in recipes in the same way as cane sugar is used. It can be used to sweeten drinks, top oatmeal or incorporated into a flavorful rub for meats. When using Granulated Maple Sugar in baking, it acts just like regular granulated sugar and can be creamed with butter for cookies and cakes. It is sweeter than regular sugar, so when using it in a recipe that calls for regular sugar, you will want to reduce the amount of Granulated Maple Sugar slightly so that your finished product isn’t too sweet. You can reduce it by as much as half, but since you want the maple flavor to remain pronounced, it can be a good idea to use slightly more than half and adjust as you go.

I’ve kept this and maple syrup on hand for years now, in the first place because of it’s awesome taste. But really, there is no comparison in nutrition between naturally processed maple syrup or sugar and regular cane sugar. Even “naturally processed’ or ‘raw’ cane sugar requires all the production devastations that happen to third world countries and its only the retention of very small quantities of molasses that give “raw” cane sugar any nutritional value at all. Maple syrup and cane sugar retain minerals and antioxidants plus having a much lower presence on the glycemic scale which means it’s better for those with diabetes and other sugar based ailments.
