Take a slice of your brown bread and then toast it. Top with a tablespoon of peanut butter and spread it on the bread slice evenly. Add sliced apple on the bread slice. Top it with pistachios and granola with some sprinkle of cinnamon powder. For making it more sweeter drizzle maple syrup on it. Cut the bread slice and serve.
Maple syrup is a natural sweetener. It is claimed to be healthier and more nutritious than sugar. Maple syrup contains a small number of minerals, such as manganese and zinc. The active compounds in maple syrup have been shown to reduce the growth of cancer cells and may also slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates in your digestive tract.
History Of Maple Syrup
The tradition of collecting sap and making maple syrup likely began one spring when temperatures rose from freezing at night into the 40s or 50s during the day allowing the sap to run. Whether Native Americans or French explorers were the first to boil down sap to make maple sugar.
From the 17th century dairy farmers just needed a source of sweetener that was better and cheaper than sugar or molasses — drilled small holes in the trees during the brief weather window between winter and spring. (Sap typically runs out of maple trees on days when the temperature is around 40 degrees following a night when the mercury dropped below freezing.) The farmers hung buckets under the drilled holes. They boiled the sap and water evaporates and lastly it is left with brown sweet syrup.
