what is the difference between Grade A &amp; B maple syurp
353397
Hi Mark, Google says: "Grade B is produced later in the season and has a darker, grittier color, thicker viscosity, more robust maple flavor and more minerals. Grade B has a heavy maple flavor that lingers on your taste buds." Since the grading has nothing to do with quality I always prefer B because it is more maple-y and has more nutrients.

They give some "free" grade b when they ship the grade A. The grade A are bigger, more supple, more fragrant and obviously way better.

Grade B maple syrup has not had all of the minerals and other nutrients removed like the typical store brands do. Grade B is much more healthy for us because we need those natural minerals. That is why the master cleanse recommends it.

There is no difference. It is just a level. It should work just fine for you.

I ordered Grade B, however they also have Grade A. I find grade B to be darker and richer in taste.

Lorraine, I do not think that there is a whole lot of difference between the two models. I own the variable speed version and I happen to use it at the upper end of the speed scale most of the time. About the only time I've really needed to slow it down was when I was sanding some non kiln dried pine and found that the higher speads heated up the wood and the sap began to run (a lot). At the lower speads I was better able to sand the pine without having as much sap run and therefore clog the dandpaper. If you don't want to pay the premium for the variable, I'm pretty sure in day to day use you really won't see the difference. However, my opinion comes from a hobbyist woodworker. Cheers! -steve-

The A is last years model. The newer one appears to have a higher chute and different tires. The old tire has a small X shaped tread and the other has a large V shape.

My container states the following; Highland Sugarworks---certified organic--grade A---dark amber---pure maple syrup. The side of the label states: Pure organic maple syrup---Product of U.S.---Highland Sugarworks, P.O. Box 58 , Websterville, VT. 05678. The label goes on to state: Certified Organic by Vermont Organic Farmers. The following statement is also on the back label: We also purchase syrup from our friends and neighbors to ship from our tiny hometown of Websterville, Vermont. I hope this helps---it is a great syrup!

I purchased this as an emergency item for my daughter and she used it once so far and was very happy. I do not know the difference......sorry.

Grade B is a darker, amber color-to me it is more flavorful than Grade A. Highly recommended.

These are grade A, I'm reasonably sure, although Amazon doesn't provide enough information. Grade B are the "Value Line" that are advertised as 50 year archival rather than 100 year archival. The gold ones are something else altogether, more for looks and mainly a gimmick if you ask me. There's a whole lot of misinformation in some of these comments. One guy say JVC is D grade. JVC = Taiyo Yuden!

'B' grade has a much stronger flavor and is better for cooking. I use B organic for my sugar in all recipes. 'A' and fancy are great for pancakes and waffles and lighter in color. There are websites that explain this as well.

I don't know about the comparison, but I bought 3 of these for my grandsons. They were useless within a couple of weeks...crap

No difference that I know of. I have been using them for sprouting for months with good results.

I do not think there is a difference, except the unit without the "BA" designation is sold by a different seller and priced higher than Amazon. I have the unit and would highly recommend it! I purchased mine from Amazon. I own two - one for home one for office. Hope this was helpful!

From reading the customer reviews, it says that the YRA-312 is a reddish brown ( rosewood) simulated woodgrain finish, while YRA-314 is a lighter brown woodgrain finish. I have the reddish color and just think it's pretty and looks classy. it's a great recorder ( both). Try buying the "Sweet Pipes" Vol. 1 and 2 ( when you can find it ) for learning one note at a time, then practicing several short tunes using just the notes you have learned.

I think grade B is darker and has more nutrients than grade A. I love this syrup and no longer can buy Aunt Jemima and Log Cabin A. They taste fake to me now.
