Vanilla Extract

What is considered to be pure vanilla extract also contains water and alcohol necessary for the extraction process.  Vanilla Beans are the long, greenish-yellow seed pods of the tropical orchid plant, Vanilla planifolia. Before the plant flowers, the pods are picked, unripe, and cured until they’re dark brown. The process takes up to six months.

To obtain Pure Vanilla Extract, cured Vanilla Beans are steeped in alcohol. According to law, Pure Vanilla Extract must be 35 percent alcohol by volume.  See the nutritional chart below. The best is considered to be from Madagascar, but we have found that the Mexican is also very good.
