What it is

Pure vanilla is an extract made from the cured seed pods of the vanilla orchid. The pods are typically cured in a process that involves drying and aging, which develops the characteristic rich, sweet, and complex flavor and aroma. The primary flavor compound is vanillin, but hundreds of other compounds contribute to its full flavor profile.

Why it's used

Pure vanilla extract is used primarily as a flavoring ingredient. It enhances and complements other flavors, especially in sweet baked goods and dairy products. It is commonly found in cakes, cookies, ice cream, yogurt, and beverages.

Health notes

Pure vanilla extract is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It is not associated with significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vanilla and its components. There is no widespread controversy regarding its safety at normal consumption levels.

Allergen info

Pure vanilla extract is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
