Where Does Maple Syrup Come From? | Winter is Alive! | SciShow Kids

The video explains the process of making maple syrup, starting with the collection of sap from maple trees. It describes how maple trees produce sugar through photosynthesis, which is stored as sap. The sap flows during specific seasonal conditions, allowing it to be collected by tapping the trees. The collected sap is then boiled to evaporate water, leaving behind the sweet, sticky syrup. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to explore and learn more about nature and food production.
