Canadian Encyclopedia: 30 ways to eat maple syrup

A list of 30 ways to scratch the maple itch, from The Canadian Encyclopedia’s 30th-anniversary compilation of what makes us proud to be Canadian

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, The Canadian Encyclopedia created 30 lists of 30 things that make us proud to be Canadian, from famous people and historic events, to iconic foods and influential artists. Read more of their lists here.

There are about 16,000 maple-syrup producers in North America, more than 80 per cent of which are in Canada. In 1995, total world production was 18,981 kl, of which Canada produced 14,890 kl. The province of Québec alone produced 13,540 kl, which represents more than 90 per cent of the total Canadian production! The rest of the Canadian production came from Ontario (5 per cent), New Brunswick (4 per cent) and Nova Scotia (1 per cent). Canada’s share of maple syrup production continues to grow.

Below is a list of 30 new ways to scratch that maple sugar itch. (We’re skipping the obvious — looking at you, pancakes and waffles…)
