Did you know that:

 

2 oz of maple syrup contains 100 % of the daily allowance needed of manganese as well as 37 % of the riboflavin, 18 % of the zinc, 7 % of the magnesium and 5 % the of calcium and potassium. And it is said that the antioxidant level in a 2 oz serving is the same as that found in a banana or a serving of broccoli. And if that isn’t enough to think about, a ¼ cup of maple syrup having more calcium than a ¼ cup of milk! Source
