The History Of Maple Syrup

The native peoples in the northeastern portion of North America are the first people who are believed to have produced the world’s first maple syrup. The maple tree was processed before the arrival of the Europeans for its sugar content and this was stated from many archeological evidences. The Algonquins are a particular race of people, who found that the sap of the maple tree has good source of nutrition and energy. Initially, they used stone tools to make deep V-shaped incisions on the barks of the trees and let a bucket hanged so that the sap is collected directly in it, at the very beginning of the spring season.  Then by dropping some hot stones in the buckets, the water in it gets evaporated, through this process the sap was concentrated. Or else they leave the buckets overnight, exposing to cold temperature, then later they separate and dispose the ice layer which was formed on the top of the extracted sap.
