The classes of maple syrup are divided primarily by color and flavor. In general, the darker the color, the strong the flavor. The Grade A color classes go from light amber (Fancy), medium amber, dark amber (from light to dark). Grade B is darker still. A common misconception is that darker color means thicker syrup -- this is not the case. All pure maple syrups have close to the same density (typically 66-67% sugar solids).
Although both are great there is a big difference between two. Actually, there are at least 3 sub-grades of Grade A. I'll explain.Grade A light amber has a very light, delicate maple flavor. Many people choose to use grade A light amber on ice cream or on food that won't overpower the syrup. Much like you wouldn't pair a light white wine with a big steak. Grade A medium amber, while more flavorful that light amber, still has a mild maple flavor. Medium amber, being in the middle of the spectrum, is often the default maple syrup that people buy. Many people, even in syrup country, have only ever tried grade A medium amber. As you might expect, grade A dark Amber has a deeper, more full-bodied maple flavor.Grade B dark syrup has a deep, robust flavor, even more flavorful that grade A dark amber. Grade A dark amber and grade B are often used for cooking. Grade B is renowned by foodies around the world and is called for by a number of detox diets.All of these are great on pancakes and waffles, which grade you use is an individual preference.The difference in the grades of maple syrup has to do with the refinement of the product, the more refined it is, the higher the grade. To have the most nutrition in the product, buy the lower grade as it is not refined as much and more natural, but does not have a sugary taste.
medium
maple is a different colour to alder and probably one will be stronger but im not sure
White sugar is sugar extracted from the sugar cane. Maple sugar is sugar extracted from part of the maple tree.
Maple flavoring is part or all artificial flavor and extract should be the real thing. Either one will work.
a maple tree is vascular and a pine tree is nonvasclar
Maple sap has not been collected, heated, sterilzed, etc. It is what comes directly from the maple tree. Maple syrup, on the other hand, is the product from maple sap that has undergone different processes (heating, sterilizing, etc.) to be packaged and put on the table for us to pour on our flapjacks or pancakes to eat.
Both are from same genus but the leaf circuference is different with the cuts in the edge.
Basically the only difference is the feel and the tone. Maple fretboards have a more soft feel and have a brighter and more edgy sound. If you have a rosewood fretboard, the sound will be a little more mellow and have more of a harder feel on your fingers.
Sirop D'Érable is the french translation for Maple Syrup. Canadian Grade B would be No. 1 Medium. Maple Syrup comes in many grades. So Sirop d'érable no. 1 médium would be grade B syrup but it has to have the "medium". Hope that helps.
birch should be lighter.
Shortbows shoot faster. Longbows are somewhat more accurate, and have a longer range.
