Maple syrup is a special ingredient which along with honey is the only sweetener we use in our granola, helping our products be among the lowest in sugar available. Maple syrup is relatively low glycemic index, meaning it breaks down more slowly in your system. Maple syrup is carefully tapped from maple trees and comes in a variety of strengths and depths of flavor. It was first cultivated by indigenous populations in North America. In the US, Vermont is the best-known growing region for maple syrup, and that’s where we source our supply.
