No sugar, chemicals, or imitation flavors are added to this complexly flavored extract. Hand-selected premium beans undergo a unique three-month cold-extraction process, which gently draws out and preserves the delicate aromatics and produces a 100% pure product.

*What is the difference between vanilla bean vs vanilla extract?*
*Vanilla Beans* come from only one source. One hundred percent of true vanilla derives from the orchid of the genus of vanilla. The fruit on a Vanilla Planifolia is a vanilla bean or pod. A vanilla bean grows out like a long green pod. The vanilla beans mature over the course of five months. They can be harvested and cured to be made into vanilla extract and vanilla essential oil.
*Vanilla extract* is made from liquid (usually a mild alcohol) that is infused with vanilla beans. … The strength can vary according to the quality of the extract, and there may be guidelines on the bottle, but most people find that 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract will be the equivalent to one vanilla pod.
*Baking with Vanilla Bean vs Vanilla Extract?
Both the vanilla bean and the vanilla extract will give you a delicious vanilla flavor in your baking goods. Vanilla extract will create a smoother mixture or concoction for a far less price. They are better suited for food that is darker in color and not as fluffy. Vanilla extract is also far less messy during food preparation. Vanilla bean will add flecks and more texture to a mixture which makes it seem more distinct and at a pricier cost. Vanilla beans are recommended for use with lighter colored foods or fluffier baked goods.
