**Organic Maple Syrup by Osawa: A Natural Sweetener Finished with Traditional Methods**
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 excessive consumption of sweets is not good, there's no need to force yourself to abstain completely; sometimes, you want to enjoy sweets.
In macrobiotics, sweeteners like 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 options.
**A Rare Gem: Certified Organic JAS and Finished with Traditional Methods**
Osawa Japan directly sources and imports from Quebec, Canada, a region famous for producing high-quality maple syrup. Quebec is one of the world's largest production areas, accounting for 90% of maple products. Among these, only 4% are certified organic maple syrups harvested from organic farms.
The harvested sap is boiled down over a wood fire to become maple syrup. This method of boiling down using a wood fire is a traditional technique passed down from the Canadian First Nations. While most production today uses gas, only about 2% of producers continue this traditional method. This is a rare maple syrup, carefully made while preserving tradition.
**About Osawa Japan:**
Osawa Japan carries on the name of George Osawa, the overseas nickname of Yukikazu Sakurazawa.
Since its establishment in 1945, Osawa Japan 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 hearing this term for the first time might think it sounds complicated. However, macrobiotics is actually very simple.
The word is composed of three parts:
* "Macro" means large or long, as you know.* "Bio" means life. It shares the same root as "bio" in biology.* "Tics" means art or science.
Connecting these three, you can understand the meaning: "A theory and method for living life to the fullest for a long time!"
To achieve this, it is necessary to "view life from a broad perspective."
If you or your loved ones are currently facing physical or mental challenges, first try to understand the factors causing them from the broadest possible perspective.
This is the starting point of macrobiotics.
