Quebec fine maple sugar is maple syrup cooked to crystallisation and ground into a fine powder. Amber colour, texture like brown sugar but with a deep caramel and woody taste. The Quebec alternative to refined sugar, swap cup for cup in all your recipes.
Maple syrup is the liquid, viscous form. Maple sugar is the same product but crystallised — the water has fully evaporated. So more concentrated in flavour, handier for cooking without adding liquid. Ideal in baking when you want maple flavour without changing the moisture of your recipe.
Keep it dry, at room temperature, in its bag or an airtight jar. Moisture makes the powder clump up — no big deal, break it up with a spoon or pestle. Use: 1 cup maple sugar = 1 cup white sugar in any recipe. Adds an instant caramel note.
No major allergens: gluten-free, lactose-free, nut-free, egg-free, vegan. Health-wise, maple sugar keeps the minerals from the syrup (manganese, zinc, calcium, iron) — far more nourishing than refined white sugar. Slightly lower glycaemic index too. Still sugar — use in moderation.
Our baker's secret: swap 1/3 of the white sugar for maple sugar in a cookie recipe = subtle maple flavour and unmatched golden crispness. Also great sprinkled on yoghurt, in coffee, on strawberries. The signature sugar of Quebec cooking — always in the cupboard.
To make 1 kg of fine maple sugar, you need about 175 litres of maple sap, slowly boiled down, crystallised and ground — a substantial job. Artisan production in Quebec, sea-shipped from Canada. You're paying for a noble sugar from Quebec terroir, not a generic brown cane sugar.
