The country known for its maple syrup is Canada. Specifically, Canada produces about 71% of the world's maple syrup, primarily sourced from the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. The maple syrup production season typically occurs in late winter to early spring when the nights are still freezing and days warm up, allowing the sap to flow from sugar maple trees. The sap is collected and then boiled down to produce the syrup. Renowned for its rich flavor, Canadian maple syrup is a popular ingredient in cooking and baking and is often enjoyed as a topping for pancakes and waffles.
