About Vanilla paste or extract

Vanilla paste and extract are concentrated flavorings derived from vanilla beans, known for their rich and aromatic essence. Originating in Mesoamerica, vanilla is now a staple in global culinary traditions, widely used in desserts, beverages, and sauces. Vanilla paste includes the seeds of the bean, creating a visually appealing and intense flavor profile, while the extract is a liquid obtained by steeping beans in alcohol. Both contain vanillin, the compound responsible for their signature taste, and are naturally low in calories. However, store-bought versions may include added sugars or alcohol, impacting health considerations. Essential in baking, they offer versatility and depth to recipes, making them particularly popular in French and American cuisines. While not a significant source of nutrients, their negligible calories make them a flavorful, guilt-free ingredient for most diets, provided sugar content is monitored.
