Whether golden maple syrup is "better" is subjective and depends entirely on your taste preferences. It is the lightest in flavor among maple syrup grades.
The Quebec producer grading system helps understand the different maple syrup flavors:
- Golden Color: Delicate taste.
- Amber Color: Rich taste.
- Dark Color: Robust taste.
- Very Dark Color: Strong taste.
Therefore, if you prefer a milder, more subtle maple flavor, golden maple syrup might be considered "better" for you. If you prefer a stronger, more pronounced maple flavor, then amber, dark, or very dark maple syrup would be a better choice. There is no objective "better" – only personal preference.
