Vanilla
Hey Everyone!
Firstly, as you can imagine, the scent of this vanilla powder and these Vanilla Beans can lift a persons mood instantaneously. Psychology backs this up with clinical studies showing that it can reduce stress when inhaled.
However, vanilla beans, beyond their rich flavor and aroma, offer some interesting health perks tied to their natural compounds. They’re packed with antioxidants, particularly vanillin, which can help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Its antimicrobial properties, from compounds like vanillic acid, also give a mild boost against certain bacteria or fungi, historically making vanilla a preservation ally for food.
It’s definitely not a solution-all, but it’s more than just a pretty flavor.
My absolute favorite benefit, is that many studies show that using Vanilla Bean Powder or Vanilla Beans in foods and beverages could help reduce your added sugar intake.
Now this is really cool, at the study here, among 112 children showed that adding vanilla to milk-based desserts increased the overall liking of reduced-sugar options in over 80% of the participants.
In the study here, 129 young adults found that adding vanilla aroma made drinks taste sweeter than they actually were—even without increasing the sugar content.
In the study here, researchers reduced the sugar in yogurt by 25% and added a small amount of vanilla flavor.
They found that the yogurt’s perceived sweetness stayed the same, even with significantly less sugar.
All of these studies suggests that adding vanilla to sweets may reduce the need for added sugar.
Our Vanilla Bean Powder is absolutely the best, because we only take the Vanilla Bean Reds, and we discard the cuts, when making it. The Vanilla Bean Reds are the Vanilla Beans that stay on the vine longer, and have a much higher oil content. The cuts are basically the left over small beans that fell off the vine early, and they have a much lower oil content. Many companies use the cuts in their products.
Since the reds have more oil content, they also have more flavor and more aroma.
Our Vanilla Bean Powder is ground in house straight from the Vanilla Bean Reds. Therefore, it is extremely fresh. As it’s pulverized on demand, it crushes and releases all of that high oil content from the reds, which were grown on the vine longer. With our Vanilla Powder, you get the best flavor, taste, and aroma compared to anything else out there. We add no other ingredients, it’s only pure Vanilla Pod Reds.
Wait until you open the bag for the first time and experience the aroma emanating from the fluffy dark Vanilla Bean Powder inside the bag. It may just lift your mood instantaneously.
When you get this vacuum sealed pack of premium-grade gourmet Vanilla Beans, they are still practically wet from the natural oils coming out of them. The only processing that these Vanilla Beans go through is sun drying and sorting out the best of the best.
These fancy Gourmet Vanilla Beans are great to put in Raw Drinks, Raw Elixirs, and even Cocktails. The Vanilla Powder is really good for smoothies, protein drinks, coffee, and making protein bars. Both the Vanilla Powder and the Vanilla Beans are great for adding a truly real vanilla taste to sauces, frostings, raw ice cream, beverages, syrups and a variety of raw and cooked deserts.
Thanks everyone for your support!
Sincerely,
Matt
