NOW Foods, Organic Maple Syrup Pure B Non-GE - 64 fl oz
Maple Syrup is distilled from the sap of Sugar Maple Trees in springtime. It takes 40 gallons of pure sap to make one gallon of pure syrup. A good Sugar Maple Tree is able to produce 1 to 2 quarts of pure maple syrup each season. Serving Size: 2 Tbsp Suggested Use: Pure Maple Syrup is ideally added to pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, oatmeal, recipes and more. Other Ingredients: 100% Pure, Grade B Organic Maple Syrup. This syrup is organically grown in New England. Grade B Maple Syrup has a deeper, richer flavor than dark, medium or light grade A syrup. Certified Kosher by KOF-K Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International.
Non-GE - "GE" stands for genetic engineering and is also referred to as GMO (genetically modified organism). Genetic engineering of food products uses gene splicing to overcome natural boundaries that would otherwise prohibit the creation of a product. Genes from different species can be combined to create a hardier product resistant to certain exogenous factors. As an example, you might be able to add fish genes to corn to make it resistant to pesticides. Although there may be "instant gratification" from such benefits as better taste, longer shelf life, and greater yield, serious concerns exist about the long-term ramifications of using these types of products and ingredients. Until more research backing the safety of GE products is available, we'll continue to make every effort to use only non-GE ingredients and products
