**Natural Sweetener Finished with Traditional Methods: Osawa's Organic Maple Syrup**
Sweetness is indispensable for making sweets and for cooking. Many people are likely trying to reduce their intake of white sugar for diet and health reasons.
While overconsumption of sweets is not good, you don't have to force yourself to abstain completely; sometimes, you want to enjoy sweets.
In macrobiotics, sweeteners such as rice syrup, amazake, and maple syrup are often used as alternatives to white sugar. All of these have a mild sweetness and are essential for cooking and baking. This time, we will introduce maple syrup, which is popular among these.
**A Rare Gem Finished with Organic JAS Certification and Traditional Methods**
Osawa Japan directly purchases and imports from Quebec, Canada, famous for producing high-quality maple syrup. Quebec is one of the world's largest production areas, accounting for 90% of maple products. Organic JAS certified maple syrup from organic farms accounts for only 4% of this.
The collected sap is boiled over a wood fire to become maple syrup, and this method of boiling over a wood fire is a traditional method passed down from ancient Canadian Indians. While most production now uses gas, only about 2% continue this traditional method. This is a rare maple syrup, carefully made while preserving tradition.
**Grade**
Maple syrup is classified into four grades based on color and taste, determined by light transmittance and flavor. Even within the same 2-3 week tapping period, the sap collected in the early and final stages will have different colors and tastes.
"Osawa's Organic Maple Syrup" handles Golden (Delicate Taste) and Amber (Rich Taste), which are most preferred by Japanese people.
It can be widely used for pancakes, various sweets, and as a sweetener for dishes.
**About Osawa Japan**
Osawa Japan carries on the name of George Ohsawa, the overseas nickname of Yukikazu Sakurazawa.
Since its founding in 1945, it has been a core distributor of macrobiotic foods, selling products that adhere to the highest quality standards to natural food stores, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, cooking classes, and mail-order businesses nationwide.
**What is Macrobiotics?**
Those who hear this word for the first time might think it sounds difficult. However, macrobiotics is actually very simple.
The word is made up of three parts.
"Macro" means large or long, as you know.
"Bio" means life. It shares the same root as "bio" in biology.
"Tics" represents art or study.
Connecting these three, you can understand the meaning. It means "a theory and method for living life to the fullest for a long time!"
And for that, it is necessary to "view life from a broad perspective."
If you or your loved ones are currently facing physical or mental problems, first try to understand the factors causing them from the broadest possible perspective.
That is the starting point of macrobiotics.
