Maple syrup is only produced in North America.
Maple syrup is made from the sugar extracted from the sap of a maple tree. Maple syrup is largely produced from the maple trees that grows from the north eastern part of North America.
Indigenous peoples of North America have been consuming maple syrup long before the arrival of Europeans. It is unkown which of the native american tribes introduced maple syrup to Europeans. The Algonquians were the first to recognize maple sap as a source of energy and nutrition.
More than 70% of the world's supply of maple syrup comes from Canada and that it takes approximately 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon maple syrup. The Canadian flag, red and white, has the leaf of the suger-maple. This tree is strong, tenacious and able to grow in other tree's shawdows. History does say that the North American Indians were the first to discover "sinzibuckwud", the Algonquin word for maple syrup, meaning literally "drawn from wood." The Iroquois called March's on-going, off-again cold period the "maple moon" or "sugar month." They would make V shaped incisions in the trees, the insert reeds or concave pieces of bark to run the sap into buckets made from birch bark. In Ojibway legend, Nanabush rewarded the sugar maples for hiding Nokomis (grandmother of the fabled magician Nanabush) from a band of evil windigo spirits by giving them a sweet, strong flowing sap. Ontario is an important maple producing province and has the 4th largest maple syrup production in the world following Quebec, Vermont and New York State. In 1993, Ontario's maple industry produced the most valuable maple syrup crop on records, having a farm gate value of aboout 20.9 million dollars. There are about 20,000 maple syrup producers in North America. Maple syrup is only produced in North America. Canada produces 70% of the world supply of syrup; the United States almost 30%. Marcy
In 2002, U.S. forests produced 1.4 million gallons of maple syrup worth $38.3 million.
The 2009 production was 920.000 gallon of Maple Syrup.
Vermont produces nearly 2 million gallons of maple syrup annually.
France imports its maple syrup from northern America, mainly from the province of Quebec who is the world's largest producer (74% of the world production). France is itself not a producer of maple syrup.
It's possible, as it seems that the art and science of tapping maple trees is something that was founded in North America, not anywhere else in the world. The white immigrants would've thus learned to make maple syrup from the aboriginals like the Iroquois, Algonquins and/or Mohicans.
True. By most laws and regulations, pure maple syrup must be produced simply by concentrating (by boiling or reverse osmosis/boiling) pure maple sap.
Yes
Maple syrup was made before the Europeans came to America. We don't know how long before that but there is written evidence from 1557.
