Maple water: an ideal drink for athletes
Nature has provided a delicious sports drink to hydrate yourself before and after a workout. This is maple water, taken directly from the tree. It is rich in nutrients and its contributions help to stimulate the body's performance and recovery. Although it has been consumed for centuries, it has only recently been commercialized.
What is maple water?
This product 100% natural is actually pure maple sap. This is the nourishing, light-colored liquid that circulates through the tree in early spring.
A natural process charges it with the nutrients that the tree will have stored in it throughout the winter. In early spring, trees pump water from the ground and filter it through their roots. It collects the nutrients contained in the trees to provide it with the food and hydration necessary for their growth and seasonal regeneration. Maple water is thus full of benefits, in addition to being delicious. Its taste is mild, slightly sweet and with a woody hint.
L'maple water can be consumed like standard water, but it is particularly suitable for active and sporty people. It is also a good option for those who are careful about their health and want to get the most benefits from their diet.
How is maple water harvested?
Trees produce sap all year round, but the spring thaw is when conditions are best for harvesting this liquid. The best time is when the temperature drops below 0°C at night, but above freezing during the day. It is usually around March, early April that trees are tapped to collect this nutrient-rich water.
Nothing is added to it afterward. The maple water is simply sterilized to eliminate any potentially harmful bacteria and to keep it longer. However, it retains all of its nutrients. You might think that harvesting maple sap would harm the tree. This is not the case. This practice encourages responsible forestry and encourages landowners to maintain a healthy forest on their land.
Difference between maple syrup and maple water
Water and maple syrup are both taken from the tree. Water is 100% maple sap%, without transformation and which is obtained simply by collecting it from the tree at the very beginning of the Canadian spring. On the other hand, to obtain maple syrup, this sap must be boiled. Maple water is therefore a pasteurized version of the sap. The syrup is obtained by bringing the sap to the boil for a long time, in order to obtain a thick and condensed liquid.
Producing one litre of maple water requires only one litre of sap. In comparison, to produce one litre of maple syrup, it takes nearly 40 litres of sap. In addition, the concentration of maple sugar is only 2% in maple water, compared to about 66% in maple syrup.
