Maple Flakes
Add Some Crunch!
Maple Flakes from Québec are made by freeze-drying (dehydrating) Maple Syrup.
Incredible flakes of maple brighten the taste of cocktails, meats, vegetables, and desserts. And why not use them to refresh your breadcrumbs and spice mixtures.
Primarily a finishing ingredient, maple flakes is an ingredient finding its way into recipes more varied than just desserts. Maple’s flavorful versatility has seen flakes being added to sweet-salty preparations. It has become a popular combination with panko breadcrumbs at a 3:1 ratio. Mixologists are frosting glasses with maple flakes. And they, of course, are perfect in desserts, such as the caramelized finish on a crème brûlée.
