Niter, also known as "sugar sand," is a natural byproduct that can form during the processing of maple syrup. It consists of crystallized minerals and impurities that settle at the bottom of the syrup during boiling. While it is harmless and safe to consume, many producers filter syrup to remove niter for a clearer, more visually appealing product. Some syrup makers may choose to leave a small amount of niter for flavor complexity.
