Vanilla Extract Powder - Sugar-Free & Alcohol-Free & No Fillers - 2.2lb/1kg

It smells like cake! When I opened it I was pleasantly surprised. It is a great addition to any cooking. I can imagine it would take cookies and cakes to a whole new level of yumminess.

We are vanilla connoisseurs. This is good vanilla. Any actual pure vanilla is just dried and ground up vanilla beans, and it is grainy and brown. It is also not all that vanilla smelling or tasting, oddly enough. When vanilla beans are extracted, the resultant liquid is dried into powder. That's what this is. They add a bit of dextrose so it does not turn into a rock-solid and unusable clump. I am extraodinarily picky about additives and this small amount is ok w me. I don't want to chip my vanilla off a brick. The small amount of monkfruit is also pulverized, liquified and dried. It is pure monkfruit, pure, clean and glycemic index of 0. This particular vanilla is slightly sweet because it contains pure monkfruit. This vanilla adds a good tasting moderately strong vanilla to anything. I use it in drinks, coffee, rice crispy treats, cereal, baking, cooking. Happy with it. Have reordered many times. Btw, I am super careful about what we eat and this meets our standards. Aki takes extreme care with their products. I have investigated their company and communicated with them. I have a full bag of natural ground vanilla beans and they do not compare whatseover with this extract mixed with monkfruit and made usable by a powdered dextrose additive.

I LOVE this. It tastes like classic vanilla, without the alcohol taste. I add this to ice cream, tea and other drinks, in baked goods, etc.

Was planning to use in homemade instant pudding mix but not sure the price is worth it bc its not very strong.

The money is spot on perfect the flavor the bottle size everything is a great value for your money it is a really brings great flavor to any dessert smoothie protein drink that you choose to make the vanilla quality is spot on and it's extremely concentrated where it really lasts extremely well I bought a little bottle first and now I bought this great big bag cuz it was that good excellent excellent excellent y'all love this

First of all I like the stuff on cold naturally sweet desserts and such. It smells good to me and adds a subtle and interesting vanilla flavor. It does not work great in hot coffee as the flavor does not hold up. My wife says it smells odd to her. That said, the reason I am writing this review is to praise the person from the company who answered my question in detail. I am a diabetic and I am fairly strict about what I ingest. I assumed with the amount of powder there must be a filler - this is not the case. Quite a large amount of vanilla bean material is used as raw material. Thank you!

I really like this for my coffee. As a diabetic I am looking for something to put in my coffee with cream and this is really good. It has been difficult for me to find something that works well and no sugar so I would recommend this one.

I really love this vanilla powder, everything about it in the way the company says it’s extracted, as well as the use of monk fruit for additional sweetening, over any other sweetener, except it for not being organic (which would make it even more expensive than what it already is). The only problem is that the flavor doesn’t last whatsoever. I added this powder to some of my smoothies, and the flavor completely dissolved in it, and I couldn’t taste the vanilla at all, and I added more and still no vanilla taste. I added more yet again, but didn’t want to keep going and waste a bunch of the powder to see how much it would take (if any amount) to get the vanilla taste. This was in a test size of about 6oz of my remaining smoothie. It’s a shame because it tastes really good - because of that, I actually ended up buying the (currently) largest available size at 2lbs. (after my initial purchase of this smaller size), currently selling for $100. Since I’m not eating any processed sugar, any sweeteners, or other processed foods, and eating mostly raw, whole foods plant based (high greens, low fruit), I’m consuming this like my “treat” or powdered candy out of a bag because straight on the tongue is the only place worth putting this powder on, since it dissolves immediately upon contact with liquid, along with the fast-dissipating flavor. You might get away with dusting it like powdered sugar on top of baked goods or something like that, but I personally would be afraid of wasting most of it, dissolving into the pastries/ baked goods. Because of the cost and the fact it doesn’t last, I may or may not buy this again in the future, but would not remain a steady/ loyal customer due to these factors, along with price factoring into its value. The lesson I keep coming to is, if you want unnatural flavors to feed modern-day food addictions, you’re always going to have to pay the price. If you’re going to do so, learn to do it on rare occasions. We’ve been conditioned to crave hyper-concentrated flavors not found in nature and in their whole food state. It’s going to take time to retrain your tastebuds into more natural expectations on how food is supposed to taste like in more natural states, instead of looking for dopamine hits off of the foods and beverages we consume.
