Dripfeed Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Read the label before you buy. You will quickly realize that not all "pure vanilla" is created equal, some have a lot more fillers than others. I found a good curmarin (sp?) free pure vanilla at El Torrito. Delicious and intense vanilla flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Get the vanilla with no coumarin as it is a blood thinner and has been banned in the US. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I think you mean pure vanilla extract instead of imitation flavored vanilla because isn't all real vanilla basically an extract cause they have to extract the essence from the beans. Its not like you can just squeeze the pure vanilla juice out of the beans as you would an orange, it doesn't work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 I use vaniilla beans in all the pastries I can use them and the flavour does not compare. You boil the bean in a little milk cut it open and scrape the pulp out..It is delicious. The volafores are not all canilla growers sl you have to ask..The ones I buy from.do grow vanilla and process it..i doubt they use artificial vanilla but it is not cheap... Why anyone would buy at costco or sl over the producers of vanilla is beyond me.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a brand of vanilla called Orlando, which is organic. It lists purified water, cane alcohol, organically grown vanilla beans, natural vanillin, and vegetable glycerin as the ingredients.

tomgates Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 The best vanilla is Perrier from Haiti. Very pure with little to no alcohol. Just bought 2 on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Actually the best is from Tahiti , or at least , it is what we consider the best in France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
