About Vanilla extract, imitation, alcohol
A concentrated flavoring derived from synthetic vanillin dissolved in alcohol, this ingredient delivers the warm, sweet aroma of vanilla without the cost of natural vanilla beans. Despite its intense flavor, it contains minimal macronutrients—just 2.4 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams and no fat or protein. With 237 calories per 100 grams, most of its energy comes from the alcohol and vanillin compounds rather than sugars or fats. It contains no dietary fiber and only trace amounts of vitamins or minerals, making it more of a flavor enhancer than a significant source of nutrition.
Commonly used in small quantities, it's a staple in baking recipes like cookies, cakes, and custards, where it enhances sweetness and adds depth to desserts. It also appears in beverages such as coffee, smoothies, and homemade syrups. Because it's alcohol-based, it infuses well into liquids and maintains its flavor during cooking. While it doesn't contribute substantial nutrients, it allows for reduced sugar use in some recipes by amplifying perceived sweetness. Those avoiding alcohol should note that most of it evaporates during cooking, though trace amounts may remain.
