Why Maple?
Why do we use Maple Syrup

Why do we use Maple Syrup
Not mixture of cane syrup and maple, but
the pure Vermont maple. We boil it into the
wheat before taking.
The main reason is-the children They like
the flavor of the maple better than anything else
that is good for them
We are making food which we know to be
the best for them. Isn't it wise for all concerned,
60 induce them to like it?
Mapl-Flake is the perfect food.
1t is so because of our process, consuming
So hours Because we spend six hours in steam
cooking Because of our method of curing.
Because we toast the thin flakes, for 80 minutes,
in heat of 400 degrees.
There are numerous wheat foods-numerous
naked foods. But we spend four times the time
that some others spend in the preparing.
The result is the starch is digestibe
Raw starch gives scarcely more nourishment
than chalk. Half-cooked starch yields half its
possible nourishment But from Mapl- Flake
you get the benefit of every atom of food that
is in it,
