Maple Syrup for Food - Recipes and Restaurants
It’s called liquid gold for a reason. Whether you are cooking breakfast, dinner or baking something sweet for a loved one, maple syrup can make any recipe sweet and savory with just a dash.
Not only is maple syrup a natural sweetener, but it can also be cost-effective and healthy compared to other sweeteners. Buy it in bulk and you will be surprised at how long it will last you. It is not only high in antioxidants, but every spoonful offers nutrients like riboflavin, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
And the truth is, life is too short for fake maple syrup. Your recipe will not taste the same, and the recipient of your treat will not enjoy it nearly as much.
This is where Vermont Maple Direct comes in. We have the resources you need to provide your customers with a meal they will keep coming back for. We offer bulk orders of real maple syrup, each one is fit to meet the needs of your recipe requirements.
