AI pick (line): Coombs Family Farms Organic Maple Sugar

Not for: Shoppers looking for a cheap everyday sugar replacement, or anyone using it where the maple flavour is unwanted.
What the AI looks for in Maple Sugar
- Purity
- The only ingredient should be maple syrup or maple sugar. Some 'maple' sugars are cane sugar with maple flavouring.
- Clumping
- Choose a resealable pack and store it airtight. Maple sugar absorbs moisture and cakes quickly.
- Substitution
- Swap it one-for-one for granulated or brown sugar by volume, and expect a stronger flavour and darker colour. Its sweetness is similar to white sugar, but the flavour can dominate delicate recipes.
Brands that matter
- Coombs Family Farms: A Vermont maple producer with organic maple sugar and syrup.
- Anthony's: Bulk maple sugar.
What to avoid
- 'Maple flavored' sugar, which is cane sugar plus flavouring.
- Large bags you will not finish before they clump.
