Maple Syrup 375ml - Artisan made by Keto Store NZ 

Did you hear about what happened when pure Allulose met up with pure sugar-free maple extract from Canada? Silky smooth, incredible tasting maple syrup ; ) And just like a good rom com, this zero carb real true Maple Syrup is so good for the body, heart and soul.

What this maple syrup is
• Deliciously smooth, incredible tasting maple syrup made with real ingredients. 
• Sweetened by Allulose, a natural sweetener with no weird after-taste. 
• Plant-based, 100% pure ingredients 
• A syrup that has zero carbs and only 19 calories per 100g, that's all. 

What this maple syrup is NOT
• NOT just maple-flavoured gloopy chemical based water
Ours is made using pure sugar-free authentic Canadian maple extract. 
• NO weird chemical / synthetic after taste.
Ours is a supplemented food, which means it's made using allulose, famous for it's taste and texture and health properties. 
• NO E466 Carboxymethylcellulose
Most other sugar-free maple-flavoured syrups contain E466 which research linking the same findings across humans and animals, destroys gut-health which other studies say elevates risks of Breast, Prostate and Colon Cancer!

Why this Maple Syrup is CMC free
An alarming study in 2015 proved causation between CMC to deterioration of gut bacteria, inflammatory bowel disease symptoms, obesity and metabolic syndrome. Four separate animal studies have also linked CMC causing increased risks and incidences of Cancer. 

In February 2024 the results of a nearly 7 year long mass scale 92,000 human study linked CMC to significant deterioration of gut bacteria and inflammatory bowel disease symptoms. The cancer-causing part of CMC testing wasn’t conclusive in adult humans due to the challenges in tracking and measuring consumption. However the animal study that did show it, shared the human study's exact same findings about gut health too. And separate studies have linked poor gut health to be the cause of several (breast, prostate and colon) cancers.

In summary, CMC is really ultra nasty to health and it's in other brands of sugar-free maple-flavoured syrups by Lakanto or called E466 vegetable gum (by Queen Fine Foods). If you want a deeper delve into the shocking research findings about E466 you'll find our blog here.

How to use
We have opted to make the viscosity of this maple syrup on the thicker side. If you prefer yours to be runny, either pour the syrup over a hot dish (hmmm pancakes!) or give the bottle a nice warm water bath before use.

How to store
This maple syrup is best placed in a pantry or cool dry place. Taste wise, room temperature / warm trumps cold anything. We've had the best experience keeping it in the pantry and a gentle reminder, we are unable to accept returns on opened food.   

Please note
Best kept above 10C like in a pantry, or if your place goes below, in the hot water cupboard. If refrigerated, that increases the chance of ice-like crystals forming or the syrup may start to look a bit cloudy. From our experience, once chilled the maple syrup might take ages to get out of the bottle due to it's ultra thickness. When the product is stored cold, the tiny crystals of maple would also become visible and could group together like a big cuddle. 

Fixing any crystals
Should this maple syrup crystalise or go a little cloudy as mentioned above, it's just a sure sign that you're not eating enough of it. The crystals still taste fine and some might like their crunchy texture. If not, to remove crystals, tip out the liquid contents out of the bottle into a pot and gently heat for 5 minutes. Stir well, and do not bring to a boil, as that removes more liquid, leaving more crystals. Pour the slightly warmed syrup back into the bottle to release any crystals still hanging out in there, then pour the whole lot back into the pot. Gently heat for longer until the crystals disappear and become incorporated back into the liquid. 

You will notice when heated, the syrup goes quite runny, so stir really well to get an even consistency. It will thicken up as it cools back down to room temperature again. Wait for the syrup to cool down before pouring back into the bottle, otherwise you risk melting the bottle. 

Public Service Announcement - unhealthy E466 / CMC 
We made this product to give you a healthier alternative to the sugar-free maple flavoured syrups that contain an unnatural, synthetic, health deteriorating, thickener ingredient E466 Carboxymethylcellulose or CMC for short.  

Some manufacturers are misrepresenting E466 labelling it as a vegetable
Unlike what it says on the Queen Food’s product label, CMC is not a natural healthy sounding vegetable at all. Lakanto syrups also contain CMC and it’s listed as a gum. CMC is a synthetic ingredient made from wood pulp and cotton lint treated with acid to break it all down to form CMC. It is interesting to note that the Queen Fine Food's own website does not list the ingredients for their sugar-free maple-flavoured syrup, and that product’s back panel image is noticeably missing in action too.
