Nielsen-Massey 1 lb. Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Powder

Details

Use this Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon pure vanilla powder to add intoxicating vanilla flavor to your recipes without watering down batters or breaking emulsions! On the islands of Madagascar and Reunion (formerly known as Bourbon) off the east coast of southern Africa, expert farmers carefully hand-pollinate delicate white and yellow vanilla orchid flowers to produce long seed pods that resemble green beans. These pods ripen on the vine under the tropical sun for around 9 months before being hand-harvested and cured. The pods are first blanched in hot water, then placed in the sun each day to absorb heat and moved to large wooden boxes each night to sweat. From pollinating to harvesting to curing, it takes well over a year to transform the fragrant flowers of vanilla orchids into distinctive, long, dark brown vanilla beans. Once they're cured, the beans are dried, ground, and mixed with an all-natural starch to produce a powder that's perfect for stirring into your signature recipes. This time- and skill-intensive process results in vanilla with an unparalleled flavor that cannot be matched by synthetic alternatives!

This vanilla powder is an excellent alcohol- and sugar-free alternative to traditional vanilla extracts, pastes, and sugars. It imparts a full, sweet, creamy, mellow vanilla flavor to your baked goods and culinary creations! Unlike liquid vanilla extract, this dry powder won't break emulsions or add too much moisture to delicate batters, retaining the integrity of your original recipe. It's also ideal for use in high-heat applications; because vanilla extract is alcohol infused with vanilla flavor, high-heat recipes made with vanilla extract may lose some of their vanilla flavor when the alcohol, and, consequently, the vanilla flavor, cooks off. This powder is impervious to evaporation, so you can use it without fear of your recipes being short on decadent vanilla flavor!

Vanilla powder is a great ingredient for dry baking mixes! Combine this vanilla powder with your other dry ingredients in a jar or bag to create dry mixes for baked goods (or even hot chocolate!) that make perfect gifts and tempting impulse purchases for your customers. Similarly, this vanilla powder can be mixed into dry spice rubs or barbecue spice blends, where it adds richness and velvety flavor to your meats. Finally, try sprinkling a touch of this vanilla extract into coffee or tea to add intoxicating vanilla flavor to your hot beverages! No matter how you choose to use it, this Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon pure vanilla powder is sure to become a favorite ingredient in your busy kitchen. 1 tablespoon of this powder is equivalent to 1 whole vanilla bean, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, or 1 tablespoon of vanilla paste. This bulk 1 lb. supply will keep you in good supply for all of your culinary needs!
