FAQ List

What is the difference between vanilla beans and vanilla extract?

Vanilla beans are the whole, dried pods of the vanilla plant, while vanilla extract is a liquid made by soaking the beans in alcohol. Vanilla beans offer a more intense and complex flavor, with visible specks of vanilla seeds, while vanilla extract is more convenient for everyday use.

How should I store vanilla beans?

To keep your vanilla beans fresh and flavorful, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposing them to heat or moisture, as this can cause them to dry out or become moldy. If stored properly, vanilla beans can last for several months.

Can I use vanilla bean paste as a substitute for vanilla extract?

Yes, you can use vanilla bean paste as a substitute for vanilla extract in your recipes. In fact, many bakers prefer using vanilla bean paste for its intense flavor and the added visual appeal of the vanilla seeds. Simply use an equal amount of vanilla bean paste as you would vanilla extract in your recipe.

How do I use vanilla beans in my recipes?

To use vanilla beans in your recipes, start by splitting the bean lengthwise with a sharp knife. Scrape out the seeds using the back of the knife or a spoon, and add them to your recipe. You can also infuse the whole bean into liquids, such as milk or cream, to extract the flavor. Remember to remove the bean before serving.

Are vanilla beans gluten-free?

Yes, vanilla beans are naturally gluten-free. They are a great option for individuals with gluten sensitivities or those following a gluten-free diet. However, it's always a good idea to check the specific product packaging or consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
