Everything from puddings and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/food\/desserts\/cookies\/best-homemade-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipes\">&nbsp;chocolate chip cookies<\/a>&nbsp;to classic cheesecake and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/recipes\/million-dollar-pound-cake\">pound cake<\/a>&nbsp;calls for a teaspoon or two. But what exactly is vanilla extract?<\/p>\n<p>There are several types of vanilla extract, and the battle between pure vanilla extract and imitation vanilla is never-ending. Here, discover just what pure vanilla extract is and whether it&#8217;s really worth the extra cost.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Vanilla Extract?<\/h2>\n<p>Vanilla extract is a flavoring agent used to enhance a variety of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/food\/desserts\/vanilla-dessert-recipes\">&nbsp;desserts<\/a>&nbsp;and even savory dishes. It interacts with other ingredients in a recipe to make each bite much more flavorful.<\/p>\n<p>Pure vanilla extract is made from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/recipes\/vanilla-bean-whipped-cream\">&nbsp;vanilla beans<\/a>. Imitation vanilla extract, on the other hand, is a synthetic product made from vanillin.<\/p>\n<h2>How Pure Vanilla Extract Is Made<\/h2>\n<p>Pure vanilla extract is made from vanilla beans, which are soaked in a solution of alcohol and water. During that soaking process, the flavor and color of the vanilla bean are extracted, allowing the potent liquid to be used in your favorite recipe.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Does Pure Vanilla Extract Cost So Much?<\/h2>\n<p>If it&#8217;s just vanilla beans soaked in water and alcohol, why is it so pricy? According to Stephen Chavez, chef-instructor of Pastry &amp; Baking Arts at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ice.edu\/\">Institute of Culinary Education<\/a>, pure vanilla is expensive because the beans come from a delicate plant that only grows in tropical regions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is subject to weather issues in those regions, such as monsoons and other tropical storms, which can easily drive up the price of the vanilla,&#8221; he says. Of course, once the price of vanilla goes up, so does the price of vanilla extract. &#8220;The demand never decreases but the supply does, causing the price to increase almost seasonally,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Pure Vanilla Extract Worth It?<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the brand and store, pure vanilla extract will typically cost $1 to $3 per ounce. Luckily, most recipes only call for one teaspoon or two, so the bottle can be used for a few treats. But is the extra cost of using pure vanilla worth it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The flavor from pure vanilla extract is tremendously better than cheap vanilla extract,&#8221; says Chavez. And most professional bakers would agree.<\/p>\n<p>Imitation vanilla extract is still a fine option if you&#8217;d prefer to keep costs low. If you do choose to use imitation vanilla, it&#8217;s best used when baking cookies or a cake, rather than using it for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/food\/entertaining\/no-cook-desserts\">no-bake desserts<\/a>, such as custards or cheesecake, where the vanilla flavor is most pronounced.<\/p>\n<p>But overall, imitation vanilla will not enhance the flavors in a recipe in the same incredible way that a teaspoon of pure vanilla does.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>date: October 3, 2019 Vanilla extract shows up on the ingredients list for a wide variety of treats.
