Mmmmm, Maple Syrup!

Maple syrup has always been one of my favorite sweeteners.  I love the maple flavor, and it's versatility.  What I didn't know what how many health benefits it has, less calories than sugar or honey, plus it contains magnesium, zinc and iron.  You can read a whole list of health benefits here, http://www.clarks-uk.co.uk/the-health-benefits-of-maple-syrup/.  This is why maple syrup is the only sweetener we use in Maple Nut Kitchen granola.
