Coombs Family Farms Organic Pure Maple Sugar, Original, 6 oz

I could not find this anywhere! After looking all over for maple sugar, I checked Amazon. I love maple pepper but couldn’t find it anywhere so I was determined to make my own. This maple sugar was the last ingredient I needed. It taste wonderful in my maple pepper and was super fresh. I was unsure about buying food off Amazon but the quality is great and it was well worth it!

great maple taste perfect in maple tea

This stuff is amazing and such good value - I used to buy a similar product at the local farmers market, but it was a fortune. This smells lightly of maple, and sweetens things really well. It's slightly less sweet than white cane sugar and much less sweet than agave, and doesn't leave a residue on your teeth in the same way those do. I'd say to use a well-rounded tsp for every flat tsp of cane sugar, if you want to know the like-for-like sweetness level. I switched to using this in my coffee when I read it was the most efficient sugar to metabolize (so your glucose levels don't jump as high as with other sugars, supposedly). I'd been using agave before and was disturbed to learn the fructose content in agave is really fast to process, so your body ends up absorbing more, which negates the fact that it's 30% glycemic than cane sugar. Maple sugar has a less cloying flavor than agave and you can't detect it in coffee the way you sometimes can with agave. Anyway, it tastes similar to light brown sugar - but not as strong - and the taste completely disappears in my daily cappuccino (I'm a bit of a coffee snob who likes a strong coffee, but I think you wouldn't detect any flavor in drip coffee either). It does dissolve in liquid completely, but it takes a bit longer and requires more stirring than cane sugar, so you might also try to dissolve in room temp or warm liquid first before adding it to something (I usually dissolve it into my first shot of espresso, then add another one on top). I'd say the granules have that freeze dried crumbly texture, similar to powdered honey. It's easier to dissolve than coconut sugar and has less aftertaste - coconut/palm sugar is what I substitute for brown sugar in recipes, because it's richer in flavor. Anyway, try it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I've tried just about every type of natural sugar substitute, and besides the outrageously expensive Japanese brand Lacanto (which has zero calories and contains fruit alcohol and monk fruit extract), this is the best.

I love this sugar! My favorite! Highly recommend! I have ordered it for years!

We use the is as a sweetener on popcorn and it does a good job. My only complaint is the sugar is inconsistent sized, so we have to grind it a second time to make it spread more evenly. It is a bit expensive but for a niche product works well.s

This is a verified purchase here on Amazon by me, first bought in 2012. I have since continued to faithfully use, but store bought. Don't like or don't want to use crap arti sweeteners? Try this! Don't like or want to use reg crap sugar? Try this! Don't want to use Stevia because deep down you know that any store bought or advertised Stevia really isn't a true, raw product? Try this! This is by FAR the healthiest "sugar" you can put in your body, in my researched opinion. Low glycemic, organic, tastes great. I use in my coffee, and in my teas. I sprinkle on my oat bran cereal and on my ghee soaked GF multi grain bread. Admittedly, I am not a baker so can't attest to how this works for that, but can only imagine it would be an ideal substitute (reviews agree). It's phenomenal. Why anyone would use the white, brown, pink, blue or yellow packets and brands to sweeten their goods when this is available is beyond me. Oh, this is not cheap, but neither is my body. You wanna dance? Pony up and pay for the music! KEEP IN MIND< this is NOT a sugar substitute per se, and those with sugar sensitivities should try a little bit first, then work up. I can tell you this though: my son is a type 1 diabetic and he can tolerate this sugar quite well. His blood sugar seems to remain stable after using a tbsp in coffee or cereal. And the Coombs family themselves? They are truly nice, good people and make an unrivaled product. Highly recommend.

Use this only on hot cereals, it's wonderful.

Taste and flavor is very good. I used it for cookies and it was perfect.

My favourite alternative to refined white sugar. Delicate taste and very high quality.

Great product, but same thing available at Costco for about 1/7 th of the price.

Muy buena calidad

I dream of using this rather than sugar beet. Delicious

Very good product with a clear and unadulterated taste
