My dad is a maple syrup producer in Québec. Believe me it is cheap concideringbthe amount of work required to make the final product. It is very labor intensive and we pay our employees a decent living wage. Honestly it is a nice profession but it is not lucrative.
You should have noted that there are very few places in the world that have the right environmental conditions for harvesting sugar maple sap- while they'll grow in many places and many species of maple can be tapped. As the climate changes, the number of good sugaring days here in northern New England are dropping every year.
birch syrup require almost twice as much sap as maple because it has less sugar in it, and the trees dont't produce sap as much too .. so a very short period of time to harvest and to produce less syrup too, very expensive product to make
I agree, Xploration. It's getting repetitive. I'm sure they've had "correct" answers on other takes of the helpline part, but it doesn't make for a good video if the secret is revealed so early. It's a whole minute of unnecessary jokes and visual gags.
Probably because it's imitation. In Vermont and New York the real stuff sells for $40-60 US per gallon. You can buy the imitation garbage for $8 a gallon. In Canada it's not legal to call it maple syrup unless it's the real thing.
I imagine it depends where in America. Here in Canada it's fairly reasonably priced since we produce it. When I was in Argentina, I was surprised by the cost of a bottle of maple syrup!
No mention of the Maple Syrup Federation (cartel).

I made my own syrup from my land for 15 years on the DownEast coast of Maine.
How about Montana? Anyone harvesting their own sap in the Big Sky state on here? I'm thinking about buying some land there.
The prices are actually fixed in Canada.. the Quebec Government ensured that these subsidies to these farms would be in perpetuity..
Love the content
SWEEEEEET TOOOOOOTH 🦷.....( Netflix show if anyone is wondering) 🥶
Huh. So riverdale wasn't making up the tree tapping ceremony
They didn’t show the osmosis filters
Why is there no birch sirup? 0.o
I mean birch trees also produce a sugary sap each season
There is. Check the Wikipedia page. It explains why it’s harder to produce.
Swedish people drink birch water

All that travel for a five minute video.

Please cut out the helpline bit. Or call someone with a right answer.
I love the helpline bit! It's unique and cute :)

It’s not expensive in America.
