About Vanilla extract
Pure vanilla extract, made by macerating vanilla beans in alcohol. Used in tiny amounts, so its macronutrient profile is irrelevant in practice. The flavor compound is vanillin, and quality varies significantly by whether the extract is pure or imitation. A kitchen staple for baked goods, custards, and desserts where it rounds out sweetness and adds complexity. Nothing to eat for nutrition, everything for flavor.
