Maple syrup: How Many Grams in a Teaspoon?
Real maple syrup has a specific density (approx 1.33 g/mL) much higher than water. It is fluid yet sugar-dense. Recipes often fail because users confuse artificial 'pancake syrup' (corn-syrup based) with pure maple syrup. Weighing eliminates ambiguity and ensures the exact sugar content needed for structure.

FAQ
- Grade A vs. Grade B: Density difference?
- Negligible for baking. The difference is in flavor intensity (Grade B/Dark is stronger) and color, but 100g of either will behave similarly structurally.
