As long as you're not drinking it (which would make it a liqueur), vanilla extract wouldn't be on the food pyramid at all. It has no nutritive value.
u can use vanilla extract just double the amount
"Pure" vanilla extract is, in effect, a liqueur and should have an indefinite shelf life provided it is stored properly.
The extract lasts indefinitely since it's alcohol based. Vanilla pods are best used as fresh as possible.
You don't necessarily NEED vanilla extract in cookies, but it vanilla extract does add flavor to the recipe. I have accidentally left it out of a cookie recipe before, and you can definitely tell the difference. Without the vanilla extract, the cookies taste very bland.
Assuming you mean liquid vanilla extract, it will stay good forever. The vanilla essence was extracted using alcohol, and the finished product is typically 35%alcohol, so it's not a bacteria-friendly environment. The reason most of us keep extracts is that fresh vanilla beans, like any produce, will grow moldy and rotten if not kept in an airtight container. Even airtight, the beans will eventually dry out and not be good for much but scenting your sugar canister, so extract is your best long-term bet.
No, you cannot substitute maple syrup for maple extract. That is because an extract, a concentrated flavoring, is used to add flavor without adding other ingredients, or changing the consistency of the recipe. Only pure or natural maple extract has a percentage of maple product.
a celery stalk is one long big strip of celery
Why yes. The Vanilla spray particles are slightly smaller than other sprays. This allows them to enter the pores on your skin easier. This will irritate your skin causing an allergic reaction. Caution if believe you are allergic to Vanilla sprays stop use immediately and soak exposed skin for 4 hours in a bath of honey mixed with vinegar at a 1:1 ratio to extract the Vanilla from the skin. Long term effects of vanilla exposure can include skin discoloration, eczema, and in extreme cases skin cancer.
Yes, as long as you make sure there is a carrier oil in the salt mixture. Good carrier oils are jojoba oil, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil, etc.
One 7" long stalk of raw celery contains about 6 calories.
Personally I use it in whipped cream, fruit salad, virtually all baking recipes, french toast, pancakes, waffles, tea, and with carmelized sugar as a topping for ice cream. = = I mix one teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 cup of sugar to make vanilla sugar in an airtight container. Mix it everyday for several days. I use vanilla sugar everytime I am baking and it calls for at least 1 teaspoon (usually standard) of vanilla and 1 cup of sugar. I do not know what the shelf life is probably because it never lasts that long.
