things people ask

• How many grams of sugar are in a teaspoon of maple syrup?
  A teaspoon weighs about 6.5 g, of which roughly 4-4.5 g is sugar. That's slightly more sugar than a teaspoon of granulated (which runs ~4 g) because maple syrup is denser than crystal sugar by volume. If you're swapping maple for sugar in a single mug of coffee, one teaspoon of syrup lands close to one teaspoon of sugar in sweetness.
• Will a teaspoon of maple syrup curdle in hot tea or coffee?
  No — maple syrup is fully water-soluble and dissolves into hot liquids without breaking. The 6.5 g goes into solution faster than honey does at the same temperature because maple is thinner. The one thing to watch is heavily creamed coffee: maple's mild acidity won't curdle dairy, but combined with very hot espresso and cold cream you can get a brief streak before stirring evens it out.
• Is a teaspoon enough to finish roasted vegetables?
  For a single sheet pan of carrots, parsnips, or butternut squash, 1-2 teaspoons (6.5-13 g) tossed on in the last five minutes of roasting is plenty — the syrup caramelises against the pan and lacquers the edges without making the vegetables candy-sweet. Use Dark grade here; the maple flavour needs to push through olive oil, salt, and roasted-vegetable bitterness.
