Lesson aim

After this lesson, you should be able to:

> Tell some facts about Maple Syrup

Where is most of the world's maple syrup produced?

1. Ontario, Canada
2. Quebec, Canada
3. New York, United States
4. Vermont, United States

Where is most of the world's maple syrup produced?

Quebec makes 75% of the world's maple syrup. Together with Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada makes over 80% of the world's supply.

What type of tree is best for producing maple syrup?

1. Red maple
2. Mountain Maple
3. Norway Maple
4. Suger Maple

How big must a tree be before it is tapped to collect sap?

1. A diameter of 10 cm.
2. A diameter of 25 cm.
3. A diameter of 50 cm.
4. A diameter of 75 cm.

How old must a tree be before it is tapped to collect sap?

1. 20 years
2. 40 years
3. 60 years
4. 80 years

Each tap in a mature tree produces about 40 litres of sap in a season.

1. True
2. False

Each tap in a grown up tree makes about 40 litres of sap in a season.

A tree may have up to four taps, depending on its diameter.

The same hole can be used each year to collect sap.

1. True
2. False

The same hole can be used each year to get sap.

The trees have a natural healing process (called walling-off) that keeps the same hole from being used a second time. Tapping a tree does not hurt it; many trees are tapped for more than a century.

How much sap is used to produce 1 litre of maple syrup?

1. 40 litres
2. 60 litres
3. 80 litres
4. 100 litres

How much sap is used to make 1 litre of maple syrup?

Sap is about 95 per cent water. It is boiled until it reaches a certain temperature, about 4 degrees Celsius above the boiling point of water. At this point, it is about 66% sugar and is named syrup.

BINGO!
