When my son was a toddler (having been diagnosed at 20 months), one of his favorite
foods was waffles. I think he would have eaten them morning, noon and night had I let him.
As we all know, few GF foods are enriched or fortifide, so I was (and still am) always
looking for ways of getting a little more nutrition into my son that he misses by not eating
regular breads, cereals, etc. Maple syrup is a good example of a better choice. It naturally
has both calcium (6% according to my brand) and iron (8%) in each serving. Artificial
pancake syrup has nothing but carbs.
We recently bought a bottle of pancake syrup to serve a bunch of boys having a sleepover
at our house--I was too cheap to spring for the real stuff for that number of kids who
probably wouldn't have noticed a difference anyway 1 :-) Despite the fact that I grew up on
pancake syrup, I found this popular brand gloppy and tasting like a petroleum by-product!
(No flames, please...just an opinion.) If you can possibly buy the real stuff, do try it. You
may find its taste and nutritional benefits worth the cost.
