With a range of vanilla flavourings available, it can be confusing to know where to start when it comes to adding it to your drinks or baking.
Vanilla
Vanilla pods provide vanilla in its most pure form. The pods can be sliced open to reveal tiny black seeds that can be scraped out of the pod and added to recipes. The pod itself can also be placed into liquids and left to infuse before being discarded.
Vanilla extract is the most popular type of vanilla flavouring and a pantry staple. It blends well into both wet and dry mixes, making it perfect for adding to baked recipes, or into coffee or milk for a beautiful beverage.
Vanilla paste is a delicious ingredient, with the added benefit of visible black bean flecks. It is thick and highly concentrated.
Vanilla essence is synthetic and not as concentrated as extract. Larger quantities are needed to achieve a similar depth of flavour.
Natural Flavourings
Using vanilla paste, extract, or essence, is a more convenient and cost effective way to add vanilla flavouring.
For a full range of natural flavourings such as vanilla extract, a specialist supplier can help to ensure that your pantry is fully stocked with a delicious selection.
As well as vanilla, there is also a selection of bakers’ favourite natural flavourings, such as custard, caramel, raspberry and lemon.
