This ingredient entry is for maple syrup. A product sold as pancake syrup is not automatically covered by the same reference, even when it is used in a similar way.
Read the source basis
King Arthur provides a source-cup relationship. FAO/INFOODS provides a reported maple-syrup density, with the compilation’s underlying bibliography retained in the data.
The density entry supports an approximate mass–volume calculation. Concentration and measurement temperature are not fully specified, so the result should not be presented as a precise measurement of every product.
Keep weight and volume distinct
Use an original gram quantity directly when the recipe supplies one. If you need to move from a cup to grams, inspect the cup system and the selected maple-syrup reference together.
Do not infer a physical volume from the King Arthur source cup when the consulted material does not define it. A separate density record is a deliberate reference choice, not a hidden repair to that source cup.
Preserve product identity in a list
Keep maple syrup separate from honey and other syrups when combining shopping rows. Similar use in a recipe is not enough to establish ingredient equivalence.
Keep any product description in the note and inspect the exported result. The conversion changes a quantity’s representation, not the recipe’s sweetener or its method.
