What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the baking aisle or your pantry when you're gearing up to bake cookies, custards, or holiday treats — a small, familiar bottle that often shows up in nostalgic family recipes. It gives off an indulgent, slightly luxurious vibe while serving as a practical pantry staple; the ingredient list (vanilla bean extractives dissolved in alcohol and water with some sugar) and liquid texture indicate it’s a processed culinary ingredient rather than an ultra-processed snack.
