## Description

Review: Wonderful Taste! - This made my buttercream frosting taste like vanilla ice cream. 10/10 would recommend. Do I wish it was a bit less expensive? Yes. Because normally my vanilla products last a while, but this is already almost finished. However, for the quality of the taste, I will definitely rebuy.
Review: Good quality product, but can get expensive if you bake often - I am writing this review after purchasing my third bottle: Flavor & Consistency: It is much tastier then vanilla extract, due to its potency. It has a stronger vanilla taste, and the taste runs slightly deeper then vanilla extract. Though it says "vanilla paste", the consistency is like liquid which makes it just as easy to mix into dishes as vanilla extract. I have used it in yogurts, milk, baked goods, etc. with zero issues in mixing evenly. Price: It is a bit pricey, but I feel you are paying for the quality you get with this product. I cook everyday, but I do not always use vanilla flavoring in my baked dishes. Because of the price, I really only use this for vanilla dishes (which I do once in a while, since my boyfriend and family prefer chocolate), and to flavor my plain yogurt. So I make a bottle last weeks and weeks sometimes. If you bake with vanilla paste often, and you have the money in your budget for this necessity item, then I say go for it. If you bake often, but would rather your budget go towards other aspects of your life, then you might want to stick with vanilla extract. Or do what I do and use it sparingly, since it is a good product, and definitely enhances vanilla based dishes. All in all, I recommend this, but it can get expensive if you bake often.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it vegan?**
A: The seller answered the question perfectly and subsequently Katie put it into additional perspective. To help clear this up using another perspective: There may be two questions being asked here. #1: Can science find any measurable trace(s) of animal 'products' and #2: Were animal 'products' used in any step of production? #1 is more of a scientific question and #2 is more of a moral/ethical/spiritual question. Therefore, although the definition of "Vegan" can vary, hopefully the answers to your questions from the seller, Katie, and I will help you make an informed decision. Cheers!

**Q: What exactly is the 'natural thickener'?**
A: I would guess the "natural thickener" is carrageenan.
 Carrageenans or carrageenins are a family of linear sulfated polysaccharides that are extracted from red edible seaweeds. They are widely used in the food industry, for their gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties. Wikipedia

**Q: Is this grainy at all, I'm looking to add some grit to my vanilla ice cream.**
A: Yes it's like when you buy vanilla bean ice cream and you see the little specks of vanilla in it. It adds a lot more flavor than liquid vanilla does. Hope this helps!

**Q: how many teaspoons are in the jar?**
A: Hi there, there are 12 teaspoons or the equivalent of 12 vanilla beans in each 2.29 oz jar.
