maple powder or maple sugar

[laserdoc]

Habs has been great on some on on one questions but I figure I would through this out to everyone.
Maple powder vs maple sugar vs maple syrup, which would you use while curing your bacon. Which is better and why.
A pound of powder and a pound of the sugar is about the same cost. Is one more concentrated  than the other and how much would you use vs maple syrup .
This would mostly be for bacon and sausage making
Also honey powder vs honey?

I don't have an answer but I am interested in the experts opinions on this one.

I bought a twenty five KG box of  BELMONT CURE - HAM & BACON . It has a maple flavor to it already. The instructions say to mix with water but I have been using maple syrup as my liquid base. I also add some brown sugar to it. It comes out more like a paste and adds extra flavor to my bacon.

If using maple syrup for cooking check around and see if you can get grade B. Darker usually less costly than grade a. I have purchased maple flavored sugar from The Sausage Maker company before.

I use both Maple powder and Maple Syrup in my bacon recipe

So I guess what I'm seeing is that there may be no difference in maple powder vs maple sugar ?

Maple powder will be more condensed flavor wont need as much as you would maple sugar. I would say the powder is better as I also use it to flavor breakfast sausage

Thanks,
If a recipe calls for 1/4 cup of maple syrup and I use maple powder instead,,,,would I use the same 1/4 cup or less of the powder
