What's the difference between Grade A and B maple syrup?
Answers:
Grade A is the first syrup of the season typically and is lighter in flavor.
Grade B is the later batches and is darker and tastes much like carmel. It also contains more nutrients then grade A due to being taken later in the year after the easy run off grade a syrup comes out.
Grade C syrup is the last of the last and is typically only used commercially in cooking. I've never tasted this strait but I'd imagine it tastes much like molasses if I had to guess.

I studied syrup grades about a month ago..lol.
Grade A is more highly processed to a lighter clearer consistency, it's supposedly better but I prefer the stronger darker taste of grade B.
