Editor's overview
This organic maple syrup from 365 by Whole Foods Market is a straightforward choice for anyone wanting certified organic product for their breakfast table or baking projects. The golden color indicates a delicate, subtle maple flavor that works well on pancakes and waffles, while also performing as a baking ingredient. At 8 fluid ounces, it's a modest single-bottle size sourced from northeastern North America.
