Organic Vanilla Bean Extractives And Organic Sugar

Organic Vanilla Bean Extractives And Organic Sugar is a blend of flavoring and sweetener. Organic vanilla bean extractives are obtained by steeping organic vanilla beans in a liquid, typically alcohol and water, to draw out their distinctive flavor compounds. Organic sugar is a carbohydrate, primarily sucrose, derived from organically grown sugar cane or sugar beets.

This combination is primarily used to impart a sweet vanilla flavor to foods and beverages. The vanilla extractives provide the characteristic aroma and taste of vanilla, while the organic sugar acts as a sweetener and can also contribute to the texture and browning of products. It is commonly found in desserts, dairy alternatives, and baked goods.

Both vanilla extractives and sugar are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. JECFA has evaluated sugars and set an acceptable daily intake. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The World Health Organization advises keeping intake of free sugars under 10% of total energy intake. Excessive consumption of added sugars can contribute to health concerns such as dental caries and weight gain.
