Organic Vanilla Bean Paste, 2 FZ
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.

Well, that depends on your definition of healthy! This paste is organic, which means it's made from ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. However, it does have added sugars, so if you’re watching your sugar intake, it’s good to use it sparingly. Think of it as a delightful treat rather than a health food.
