In the wilderness of the Penza region, along the bank of the Khoper River, which can only be reached by all-terrain vehicle, there is a forest. Outwardly, it is no different from others, but if you stop and go inside, you can see that thousands of trees are braided with tubes like a huge web, through which a transparent liquid flows. This is maple sap, which is needed to produce maple syrup. There are many such forests in the USA and Canada. But for Russia and the entire former USSR, this technology is a novelty. Here, they are used to collecting tree sap by hand. But to cook a liter of maple syrup, you need as many as 65 liters of raw materials. And without Canadian technology, it would be golden. In North America, the production of this natural sweet feeds tens of thousands of people living in rural areas. And for Penza's Sosnovka, the syrup became a salvation. After all, the multinational village, in which both Russians and gypsies live, has recently been dying out, like almost the entire Russian province. *** Subscribe to CURRENT TIME.DOC - / currenttimedoc
