Maple Roasted Pumpkin Grits

With cooler temperatures setting in there’s nothing better than a bowl of warm Maple Roasted Pumpkin Grits to start the day. Best consumed while admiring the golden and red hue foliage if I must say. 

These particular Maple Roasted Pumpkin Grits are not only luxurious, but pack a whole lot of flavor from a very special ingredient: Pure Maple from Canada. 

What is Pure Maple from Canada? 

So glad you asked! Fun factoid: Canada produces over 71% of the world’s pure maple syrup. Of that, 91% of that syrup is produced in Quebec. That leads to over 12.5 million pounds produced from our friends up North! 

Now, when they say Pure Maple from Canada they mean just that. It’s the only ingredient you will find on their golden maple leaf bottle. All of their maple syrup is collected from trees, then sent to storage where it goes through the maple syrup evaporation process, and then bottled!
