Fun fact: Canada is the world's largest producer of maple syrup! This sweet treat is made from maple tree sap. It takes about 40 litres of sap to produce just one litre of maple syrup! Maple syrup is not only a popular topping for pancakes and waffles, but it is also used in a lot of recipes, from desserts to marinades. In fact, Canadians even celebrate 'Maple Syrup Day' on December 17th each year!
