Simply Organic Vanilla Extract 8oz

Nothing but pure, organic vanilla extracted from premium Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans (Vanilla planifolia), with organic alcohol as the extracting agent and flavor carrier, and a little water as the liquid base. This is REAL vanilla. No GMOs. No sugar. No fake color. No fake flavor. Certified Organic by QAI. Kosher Certified by KSA. Warm, drool-worthy aroma. Deep amber color. Rich flavor so smooth and naturally sweet, Cook's Illustrated voted it the #1 Vanilla Extract in 2018. We believe it's the best pure vanilla extract you'll find.

Suggested Uses

Along with being a must for baked goods, pure vanilla is the ideal no-sugar flavor enricher for smoothies and protein shakes. And, when did you last have real, homemade vanilla ice cream? Our vanilla extract makes even that worth the effort. But did you know it's an excellent addition to more savory fare, like our stuffed acorn squash, roasted tomato bruschetta and vanilla bourbon glazed salmon? Try it for yourself.

Quality starts at the source

Imitators are everywhere, but no amount of artificial flavors, sugar, or preservatives can help these cheap substitutes, match the taste of our experience of using pure, organic Madagascar, vanilla in your kitchen.

Pure Vanilla

Pure vanilla comes from the beans (or pods) of Vanilla planifolia, an orchid that grows in tropical climates. Flowers are carefully pollinated and each bean is harvested by hand. Once picked, they take up to 9 months to cure, sweat, dry and mature.

Imitation Vanilla

Imitation vanilla is created in a lab — often from paper manufacturing waste streams or petrochemicals — to create a synthetic vanilla flavor, fast and cheap.

What the Label is Really Telling You

Pure

Indicates that no other ingredients besides vanilla have been used to simulate vanilla flavor.

Madagascar Vanilla

USDA Certified Organic

The product meets strict regulatory guidelines to ensure it is produced in compliance with organic practices and does not contain ingredients that are artificial or genetically modified.

All-Natural

An unregulated marketing term that can include ingredients that are heavily processed, such as high-fructose corn syrup.

With Other Natural Flavors
