Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Jann (and Vy), If one of your dietary goals is to be 100% raw, please realize that maple syrup is not raw. Raw maple sap is boiled down for hours to make the syrup It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. My favorite raw sweetener is raw organic dates. Be aware that some store-bought dates may have been steamed. You can order (at a good price) raw organic dates from The Date People (760-359-3211) I wish you continued success with your raw running! Jeff >hi Jann, grains are a great way to go. Oat groats is one of my >favorites. soak over night and it's ready to go in the morning with >a split second whip in the blender. with almond milk or seseme milk >and maple syrup.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 How can maple syrup not be vegan? Isn't it just boiled tree sap?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi Bron, When I think how cheap pure maple syrup is in my old homeland of Canada, boo hoo. Two litters, here, cost about $80, where as the cost in Canada is probably around $20, but then Canada is loaded with maple trees. Maybe we should get some maple trees DownUnder, hm?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 ---Oh my gosh! I can not believe maple syrup could possibly cost that much. I am in Upstate NewYork and everyone and their neighbor has a little maple patch that they harvest. It really makes you appreciate your local farmers and local produce!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Wow! thats a lot! I live in Maine about 5 miles from a maple company. I love their granulated maple sugar. Its so good sprinkled on toast or pancakes. All this talk of syrup reminded me that I need to buy some, I'm all out! I get my syrup at a discount shop in Waterville. They frequently have pure maple syrup at $6 for a 32oz(?) can. April , " Barbara " <kangabp wrote: $31 for 64 oz, wow! Downunder that would cost about $90+!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi Bron, Airfreight would be costly yet quick, but I don't know if customs would allow it through. Shipping costs are by weights, and then there's the exchange rate which costs about $20 extra, so when all is said and done it costs the same if not more with shipping, & exchange. It's the weight that gets you, and maple syrup in a large container is not exactly light, darn! I used to get a litre of pure maple syrup in Victoria, on Vancouver Island, at a Superstore for about $10.99! The same here, ouch! Liquid Gold! I now get it for special occassions, lol.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 WOW...at Bob's Sugarhouse in Dover, I think it's $40/gallon? But it is so worth it.
