What You Should Know

You'd spot this small jar in the baking or extracts aisle (often in the organic section) and reach for it when making custards, holiday cookies, or weekend brunch treats. It feels indulgent and slightly artisanal thanks to visible vanilla bean flecks, but the syrupy texture and added stabilizers reveal a multi-ingredient, industrially formulated paste indicative of ultra-processed styling.
