• According to many historians, the maple leaf and the maple tree came to symbolize Canada as early as 1700.
• Canada exports more than 28,685 tonnes of maple syrup to more than 30 countries. It's an export industry worth $145 million (2004).
• There are more than 10,300 maple syrup producers in Canada accounting for more than 33,680,000 taps. They are mostly found in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
• Main syrup-producing trees are sugar maples, red maples and silver maples. During the spring, the maple sugaring season, an average tree produces between 35 to 50 litres of sap, which will produce between one to 1.5 litres of maple syrup.
• A 50 ml serving of maple syrup contains 167 calories, 43 grams of sugar, 117 mg of potassium, 7 mg of sodium and no fat.
