Detailed description

Sources

Three species of maple trees are predominantly used to produce maple sugar: the sugar maple (Acer saccharum), the black maple (A. nigrum), and the red maple (A. rubrum),[1] because of the high sugar content (roughly two to five percent) in the sap of these species.[2] The black maple is included as a subspecies or variety in a more broadly viewed concept of A. saccharum, the sugar maple, by some botanists.[3] Of these, the red maple has a shorter season because it buds earlier than sugar and black maples, which alters the flavour of the sap.[4]
A few other (but not all) species of maple (Acer) are also sometimes used as sources of sap for producing maple sugar, including the box elder or Manitoba maple (Acer negundo),[5] the silver maple (A. saccharinum),[6] and the bigleaf maple (A. macrophyllum).[7] Similar sugars may also be produced from birch or palm trees, among other sources.

Uses

Maple sugar is used to flavor maple products and as an alternative to cane sugar.

CASTER,CASTOR OR SUPERFINE SUGAR

Listing description Caster   sugar , sometimes also sold as “ castor ” or “superfine”   sugar , is a type of   sugar   granule that has been ground very small so as to dissolve easily in beverages and baking. Detailed description Because it dissolves more quickly than standard granulated sugar, it is used mainly in applications where this is desirable. It is most useful in making meringue, sweetening cut fruit and the like, where no heat is applied, and therefore the larger granules of standard granulated sugar may be undesirable. In most cases granulated sugar may be substituted, and occasionally powdered sugar is also a suitable substitute. Name Variations §   bar sugar §   instant dissolving sugar §   berry sugar §   castor sugar §   caster sugar §   casters' sugar §   caster's sugar PRICE $21.16/KG OR $9.61/IB For more information: mobile: +...
