Canada is known for the production of maple syrup, a sweet syrup made from the sap of sugar maple trees. The process of making maple syrup begins in the early spring when temperatures fluctuate between freezing at night and thawing during the day, causing the sap to flow. Harvesting sap involves tapping the trees and collecting the liquid, which is then boiled down to concentrate the sugars. Canadian maple syrup is highly regarded for its quality and flavor, and it contributes significantly to the country's agricultural economy. The tradition of maple syrup production is deeply rooted in Canadian culture and history.
