If you are wondering whether maple syrup fits into a Paleo lifestyle especially when it comes straight from your own tree the answer is yes with some things to keep in mind. Maple syrup is a natural sweetener made by boiling down sap from maple trees. When it is pure and not changed it fits well with Paleo ideas of eating real natural foods.
When you get syrup from your own trees you know exactly what is inside nothing but pure sap turned into syrup without any hidden sugars or extra stuff. This makes it much better than many store bought syrups which often have added sugars or things you don’t need. Still even natural maple syrup has sugar so it is best to use it in small amounts as a treat or to add flavor rather than every day.
Long ago Paleo people enjoyed sweet tastes from things like fruits nuts honey and tree sap like maple sap. They might have tasted the sweet sap right from the trees in certain seasons when it flowed. While they did not have syrup like we do today it makes sense that they used the sap in cooking or food in a way like how some people use sweet liquids or even drinks made from fermenting. They could have added the sap to foods or warmed it gently to make food taste better using what nature gave them.
In conclusion maple syrup from your own trees is a great Paleo friendly choice. It is natural not changed and has no hidden ingredients. Just remember to enjoy it in small amounts to keep your diet healthy and balanced.
