Natural maple syrup is not raw. It's still pretty good tasting though...
Why isn't natural maple syrup considered raw?
Because to make maple syrup you have to boil down and reduce the tree's sap until it becomes... syrup. That's why it's brown too, cause it got cooked until it turned into that color from what was previously a clear, runny liquid...
Thanks for the explanation!
Makes me wonder why the recipe doesn't call for raw sugar instead.
A thought... if you get freeze dried mangos (Trader Joe's sells them) and powder them in a coffee grinder, then add water until you get the consistency you want, that might give you a truly raw and sugarless sticky base that might replace the Maple and Agave syrups. It would add an extra tangy taste but maybe worth a try.
I love that idea! Thanks Gammy.
