Key ingredients 2

Vanilla bean extractives in water
Neutral

Vanilla bean extractives are derived from vanilla beans and provide flavor without significant nutritional impact. The extraction process typically involves soaking vanilla beans in water and alcohol to release flavor compounds. This ingredient is primarily used for its aromatic properties rather than nutritional benefits.

Alcohol
Neutral

Alcohol is used as a solvent in vanilla extract to dissolve flavor compounds from vanilla beans. It is a common ingredient in extracts and does not contribute significant nutritional value. The alcohol content in extracts is generally low and used for preservation and flavor extraction.

Risks

Excessive consumption of alcohol can have health risks, but the amount in vanilla extract is minimal and typically not a concern.
