I hope I haven't lost you already, assuming I'm totally crazy if I drink tree sap... If not, join me as I explain the science behind maple sap and why I love enjoying a tasty glass of this maple water every day during sugaring season. In fact, folks pay big money for bottled maple water, and I get it for free in buckets in my backyard. Today we talk about the polyphenolic compounds and oligosaccharides in maple sap and why they are so amazing.For more information about collecting sap, making syrup, and baking with maple--and my Maple Sandwich Bread recipe ?--you'll love my book, Sweet Maple.I also share lots about tapping here, on SoulyRested.com.The Reverse Osmosis filtering system I mentioned is totally explained here.
