But after what feels like a straight decade of pumpkin spice <em>everything<\/em> on an annual basis, the trend is as stale as a week-old farm stand donut. In our humble opinion.<\/p>\n<p>So we&#8217;ve got a bold idea: This year, nix (or simply cut back on) the pumpkin spice for the equally fall-friendly (and infinitely more awesome) maple. We\u2019re talking pure, sticky, sweet maple syrup\u2014not that high-fructose corn syrup nonsense you get at the diner.<\/p>\n<p>You may think maple syrup is only good for soaking a stack of pancakes, but this natural sweetener actually offers a number of benefits.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not denying that it contains a lot of sugar (almost <a href=\"https:\/\/ndb.nal.usda.gov\/ndb\/foods\/show\/151111?man=&amp;lfacet=&amp;count=&amp;max=50&amp;qlookup=pure+maple+syrup&amp;offset=&amp;sort=default&amp;format=Full&amp;reportfmt=other&amp;rptfrm=&amp;ndbno=&amp;nutrient1=&amp;nutrient2=&amp;nutrient3=&amp;subset=&amp;totCount=&amp;measureby=&amp;Q174371=2&amp;Qv=1&amp;Q174371=4.0&amp;Qv=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">27 grams<\/a> in two tablespoons), but that doesn\u2019t mean maple syrup is the same as table sugar. \u201cPure maple syrup is considered a whole food,\u201d says Jaclyn Jacobsen, M.S., nutritionist for The Vitamin Shoppe. That&nbsp;<em>certainly<\/em> can&#8217;t be said for table sugar, or even cane sugar, because the original sugar cane goes through chemical processing to turn it into the granulated stuff we all know.<\/p>\n<p>Because maple syrup is still generally in its original form (it\u2019s heated to thicken it up), its nutrients are still intact, and so it has more to offer than table sugar or other more-processed sweeteners. \u201cPure maple syrup contains 24 different antioxidants,\u201d says Jacobsen. And though it doesn\u2019t contain all 24 in high amounts, there are two worth noting: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/zinc\/N-cp99i9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zinc <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/minerals\/N-cp99i4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">manganese<\/a>. (Quick reminder: antioxidants fight damage from environmental stressors called \u2018free radicals.\u2019)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZinc is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/minerals\/N-cp99i4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mineral<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/antioxidants\/N-cp99id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">antioxidant<\/a> that supports your immune system, while manganese supports fat and carbohydrate metabolism,\u201d Jacobsen explains. Two tablespoons of pure maple provides about 12 percent of your daily value for zinc and more than 60 percent of your daily value for manganese.<\/p>\n<p>Another perk of maple is that it\u2019s lower on the glycemic index than regular ol&#8217; cane sugar, meaning it doesn\u2019t have quite as rollercoaster-y an effect on your blood sugar and insulin. That\u2019s good news, considering frequent blood sugar spikes can cause weight gain and insulin resistance, which is a precursor to diabetes, Jacobsen says. (Just keep in mind that this doesn\u2019t mean people with blood sugar-related health issues can go willy nilly on the stuff\u2014it\u2019s still high in sugar.)<\/p>\n<p>So, did we sell you on maple\u2019s awesomeness? Grab yourself a bottle (look for one with just a single ingredient: pure maple syrup) and enjoy that sweet, sweet flavor straight through \u2018til spring. \u201cYou can use maple syrup to make vegan ice cream, sweeten up protein shakes, or bake your favorite treats,\u201d Jacobsen suggests.
