Maple water: an ideal drink for athletes

Nature has provided a delicious sports drink to hydrate you before and after a workout. This is maple sap, taken directly from the tree. It is rich in nutrients and its contributions can stimulate the performance and recovery of the body. Although it has been consumed for centuries, it has only recently been commercialized.

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 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 their 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.

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 pay attention to their health and want to get the most benefits from their diet.

The trees produce sap all year round, but it is during the spring thaw that the conditions are most suitable for harvesting this liquid. The most favorable time is when the temperature drops below 0°C at night, but above freezing temperature during the day. It is usually around March, early April that the trees are tapped to collect this nutrient-rich water.

Nothing is added to it afterwards. Maple sap is simply sterilized to eliminate any potentially dangerous bacteria and to be able to store it longer. However, it retains all its nutrients. One might think that harvesting maple sap harms the tree. It is not so. This practice encourages responsible forestry and encourages landowners to maintain healthy forest on their land.

Both water and maple syrup are taken from the tree. The water is maple sap at 100%, 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, it is necessary to boil this sap. Maple sap is therefore a pasteurized version of the sap. Syrup is obtained by bringing the sap to a boil for a long time, so as to obtain a thick and condensed liquid.

Producing one liter of maple sap only requires one liter of sap. In comparison, to produce one liter of maple syrup, it takes nearly 40 liters of sap. In addition, the maple sugar concentration is only 2% in maple sap, compared to about 66% in maple syrup.

It is composed of water at more than 95%. It also contains sucrose, minerals (manganese, calcium, potassium, zinc), amino acids, oligosaccharides and organic acids. It contains about forty bioactive compounds, and some have antioxidant properties.
