Bascom Maple Farms is showcasing its 100% pure and organic maple syrup and maple sugar at the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), September 14–17 in Las Vegas. Attendees who visit booth #6636 can learn more about the versatility and clean label benefits of maple. As the leading independent supplier of pure and organic maple syrup and maple sugar in the U.S., Bascom Maple Farms serves as an invaluable resource for bakers and manufacturers looking to elevate baked goods and snack products.
According to Mintel’s 2024 Sugars and Alternative Sweeteners report, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of their sugar and sweetener intake, with 57% having made changes over the last six months and moderation being a common strategy. Sweeteners that offer familiarity and an association with nature are also proving to be more approachable across different age groups.
“At Bascom, we are proud to offer high-quality maple syrup and maple sugar to help bakers naturally sweeten and enhance their products,” said Arnold Coombs, Executive Director of Sales and Marketing, Bascom Maple Farms. “Maple syrup and maple sugar function as both natural sweeteners and flavor enhancers, offering more refined and rich toffee or caramel-like notes to baked goods. Maple provides many functional benefits as well. It can enhance browning, improve moisture retention and deliver wholesome goodness, all while meeting the growing demand for natural sweeteners. Maple delivers unmatched versatility and can be incorporated into a wide range of products from cookies and snack cakes to rich ganache fillings and icings.”
Bascom products are always made with 100% pure maple syrup from New England and Canada, offering clean label appeal and unmistakable flavor that is sure to delight consumers. These sweetening and flavor solutions have consistent flavor profiles and offer many labeling benefits, including:
- Naturally sourced, clean label sweetener
- Consistent flavor and sweetness levels
- Essential minerals, antioxidants, and bioactive plant compounds
- Sustainable, wild crop-harvested
- Minimal processing
- Easy to digest and allergen-free
- 100% plant-based/vegan, yet readily accepted by a wide range of consumers
“The natural goodness, sweetness and flavor maple syrup and maple sugar bring to a product can really help it stand out in the marketplace as a premium, wholesome offering,” added Coombs. “And because maple syrup is sustainably harvested directly from nature, it offers a wild crop-harvested, natural ingredient that is rich in minerals like iron, calcium, zinc, and potassium. We help manufacturers choose the right maple product to meet your specifications and achieve consistent flavor and sweetness—ensuring reliable performance in formulations while also exceeding consumer expectations.”
Available in all grades, with various sizes and packaging options, and shippable year-round, Bascom Maple Farms offers comprehensive maple solutions to accelerate new food and beverage products from R&D to retail shelves. Bascom’s team of formulation experts is dedicated to guiding brands in quickly developing high-quality products that meet a wide range of certifications, including label friendly, organic, and sustainably sourced.
