What it is

Organic Natural Vanilla Extract is a liquid flavoring made from vanilla beans, which are the fruit of the vanilla orchid. The beans are typically cured and extracted using alcohol and water, a process that develops their characteristic aroma and flavor. The 'organic' designation means the beans and processing ingredients meet USDA organic standards.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic natural vanilla extract primarily to impart a sweet, warm, and complex flavor to foods. It is a popular flavoring in baked goods, dairy products, and confectionery. It enhances and complements other flavors, particularly chocolate and fruit.

Health notes

Organic Natural Vanilla Extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a 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 flavor components. There are no widespread controversies regarding its consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Vanilla itself is not one of the nine major allergens, nor is it typically derived from them. It does not contain gluten.
