100% USDA organic. Escuminac produces a pure organic birch syrup (yellow birch) of the highest quality. This nectar is produced in very small quantities thus making it very rare. Considered the balsamic vinegar of the Native Americans, it is said to have many beneficial properties and virtues which include vitamins, minerals, amino acids and proteins. This exceptional syrup has a certain aromatic kinship with balsamic vinegar. Rare and sought-after, birch syrup (yellow birch) is never to be confused with birch syrup (white birch), a more common and much less complex syrup. The white birch and the yellow birch are two quite different trees.
