What it is
Salt is a mineral compound, sodium chloride, found in the earth or obtained from evaporated seawater. Natural vanilla is a flavor extracted from the cured pods of the vanilla orchid plant, a process that involves curing and then extracting the flavor compounds.
Why it's used
Both salt and natural vanilla are primarily used to enhance the flavor of foods. Salt also acts as a preservative, while vanilla provides a distinct aromatic profile. They are commonly found in a wide range of products, including baked goods like cookies and cakes, candies, and snack foods, where they can balance and deepen sweet flavors.
Health notes
Salt is an essential nutrient, but consuming too much sodium can contribute to high blood pressure. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. JECFA has evaluated salt. Natural vanilla is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. At typical intake levels, neither ingredient is associated with significant health concerns.
Allergen info
Neither salt nor natural vanilla is considered a major allergen.
