Date: 23/03/2015

As the maple flavour trend extends beyond pancakes to become an internationally coveted ingredient, here in North America, the popularity of coconut water and other replenishment drinks is being challenged by a new drink called Maple Water. At its best Maple Water is made from 100% pure sap and only natural flavourings sourced locally to where the sap is made.

Like other drinks designed to replenish you after exercise or dehydration, Maple Water  contains natural Vitamin B, electrolytes, vitamin A, antioxidants and prebiotics as well as  minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron and zinc. Sources say these low calorie beverages can provide energy without spiking blood sugar.

In an era where consumers demand natural ingredients and clean ingredient lists how did Red Velvet - a concept that relies on using large amounts of red food dye - become a dominant grocery product trend?

Question of the week: Do you think Maple Water tastes better than Coconut Water?  Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
