Meaning a natural, plant-based substance could be used as a performance aid without the addition of processed sugars. These are the Manitoba maple Acer negrundo , the silver maple Acer sacharinum , and the bigleaf maple Acer macrophyllum. There are a number of reasons for this. There are different amounts of sugar in each batch of maple sap that is boiled. Maple sap contains between 1 and 5 percent sugar. The syrup must be boiled down to If the maple sap being boiled contains less sugar to begin with, it will need to be boiled longer than sap that has a higher concentration of syrup.
The boiling point of the water in the sap — sap being between 95 and 99 percent water — varies depending on the barometer and the weather. In general, the length of time it takes to boil maple sap to maple sugar depends on the efficiency of the evaporator. A small evaporator a pan which is about 2 feet by 6 feet , can boil about 25 gallons of sap per hour and a larger evaporator 6 feet by 18 feet can boil up to gallons per hour.
By law, a gallon of pure maple syrup weighs eleven pounds. Maple syrup is a good substitute for sugar.

Maple water is low in sugar and contains electrolytes and antioxidants.

But if you don't like the taste of water, maple water may help you get your water in for the day.
Just don't forget to factor in the added sugar. Maple water may be more hydrating than plain water before, during and after exercise and might boost exercise performance. More studies are needed, but in the meantime, give maple water a try. You might tolerate it better than sugar-laden sports drinks.
