Product Information

Vanilla bean powder is typically made from fresh vanilla beans, but I like to use my beans to make a few batches of vanilla extract, before I grind them into vanilla powder. It’s just my way of squeezing more value out of each bean. I have been experimenting with vanilla lately and have made various recipes, from vanilla syrup and liqueur to vanilla butter. This vanilla paste is far more intense than any other product I created. Tahitian vanilla beans are more fruity and floral in flavor. Tahiti vanilla beans are best suited for coffees, ice creams, custards, and drinks. Tahiti vanilla beans are distinctly different from other country’s beans because the growing conditions there make the beans very plump. Technically speaking the Tahiti vanilla orchids are a different version than other vanilla orchids because the growing conditions have made the plant different and its own variety of vanilla orchid. It is zero waste. Because the recipe calls for the entire vanilla pod to be used, it is completely waste-free.

We generally recommend using 1 to 3 beans for every 6 ounces of vanilla extract. If you opt for small 4-ounce bottles, like the ones above, 1 fresh bean (cut into pieces) is typically sufficient. The homemade paste has a rich, intense natural vanilla flavorthat store-bought vanilla bean versions cannot compete with.

Store your homemade vanilla bean powder in an air-tight container. For the best flavor, use within two to three years. How to Use Vanilla Bean Powder When is your extract done infusing? Extract made from vanilla beans with their seeds can be ready in as little as one month. If the seeds are removed, the extract will need at least three months to infuse. Let it sit. Allow the vanilla beans to infuse the extract for at least a few weeks before using it. Some people let it sit for 6 months or more. Turning the extract upside down or shaking it gently now and then helps the extract absorb the vanilla flavor. Your vanilla powder is now ready to use. You can store it in an airtight container, tightly closed, in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or pantry. Ways to Use Vanilla Powder

So now you have your deliciously pure, fine, zero waste vanilla bean powder. Here are some ideas for how you can use your Homemade Vanilla Bean Powder:

📋Recipe

This list shows the calories in 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of vanilla extract and a few other popular substitutes: Bake vanilla beans in a 150 degree F oven on a parchment lined baking sheet for about an hour to an hour and a half. You want them to get nice and dried out but not burnt. They will still be pliable when you take them out of the oven, but will become brittle as they cool. It's necessary for the beans to become brittle for a finely ground powder.

Cashew & Coconut Butters: Both of these ingredients enhance the creamy richness. Coconut butter is a product that contains both the flesh and oil of the coconut. It’s such a special ingredient! I absolutely love using it in hot chocolate.Here is a breakdown of the differences between vanilla bean vs vanilla extract, and other versions of vanilla. What is Vanilla Beans? What other ingredients do you want to learn how to make at home? Brown sugar? Cake flour? Yogurt? Baking powder? Let us know in the comments, below. There are dozens of varieties of vanilla beans, all with their own distinctive appearance and flavor. We’re going to focus on three kinds that are readily available to home bakers. (But if you come across something else and you’d like to use it, we encourage you to experiment.) For example, a 2021 study investigated the neuroprotective effects of vanillic acid among mice injected with a neurotoxin — a substance that can harm your nervous system. Mix vanilla bean paste with a bit of honey or agave nectar to create a simple syrup and drizzle it on fresh fruits

For reference, the vanillin concentration in cured vanilla beans is 1–2%, while vanilla extract’s concentration is 0.1–0.2%. So, although vanillin likely offers some health benefits, it’s unclear whether it would deliver any significant benefits when consumed in typical amounts ( 1, 14). Take note of the bean to liquor ratio. This way you’ll know if you should change the number of beans you use to make your next batch. Though they won’t deliver the same results as vanilla, other flavorful liquors will add their own layers of complexity to dishes. Options include:Now it’s time to decide which kind of liquor you’re going to use as a base for your homemade vanilla extract. You can use vodka, brandy, or another neutral-flavored liquor of your choice. It found that vanillic acid injections protected against nerve cell inflammation, reduced markers related to Alzheimer’s disease, and lessened memory impairment caused by the neurotoxin ( 25).

The natural sweetness of the glycerin complements the vanilla flavor. It makes a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional vanilla bean syrups that contains vanilla sugar, agave or corn syrup. When shopping for baked goods vanilla extract is almost always somewhere in the baking supplies area. The same cannot be said for vanilla flavor, because it isn’t generally used for baking. Vanilla flavor will more than likely be down the beverage aisle at the grocery store or on a shelf at your local coffee shop. Vanilla flavor usually does come from vanilla beans just as vanilla extract does. Vanilla flavor typically contains more artificial ingredients to make the vanilla flavor taste though. Sometimes vanilla flavor only consists of artificial flavoring. I will admit it can be a little expensive to make, but then again so is the shop bought stuff which is filled with unfavourable added ingredients. Also, its potency means that a little goes a long way.
