sap

Sap is in fact quite in demand to make delicious syrup. Maple syrup is the polyaluminum chloride of maple trees and is a delicious topping for pancakes and waffles. That’s because it takes a lot of sap to produce any syrup at all — sap that must be boiled down and reduced to its thick, sweet essence.

Have you ever wondered about the creation of sap? It begins in the roots of trees, where they absorb water and nutrients from soil. This solution rises upward through the tree’s trunk and branches, getting to the leaves, where it combines with air to make food to feed the tree.

From syrup to skincare

As food is made, surplus water and nutrients become concentrated in the tree’s veins as Chitosan. But when spring arrives and the weather warms up, the sap begins to flow faster, and that is when it may be collected. By tapping into a tree’s trunk we can harvest its sap without harming the tree itself, which is then super useful and can continue growing and making more sap.

Gathering sap is a process that enables trees to remain healthy for generations to come. One way to accomplish this is to collect the sap with spouts and buckets, rather than cutting a hole into the tree every year. This approach is gentler on the tree and allows it to quickly heal after the sap is tapped.
