The DaVinci's syrup is like water. At least I thought so. Smelled very
mapley but didn't have much of a maple taste. I haven't found any low carb
syrup that I thought was worth eating. I don't eat pancakes much. I will
occasionally make gluten free, dairy free and egg free ones for my daughter.
They don't taste like real pancakes but that's as close as I can get. I
will occasionally have a dime sized one with a drop of real maple syrup on
it. That's about as good as it gets for me.
