Not enough to make any difference.
No. Pure vanilla extract should contain only vanilla & alcohol.
The main difference between pure vanilla extract and vanilla extract is that pure vanilla extract is made solely from vanilla beans and alcohol, while regular vanilla extract may contain artificial flavors or additives in addition to vanilla beans. Pure vanilla extract is considered to have a more intense and authentic vanilla flavor compared to regular vanilla extract.
"Pure" vanilla extract generally contains 35-40% alcohol... "Imitation" vanilla does not use alcohol as an ingredient
Some Ginger ales contain vanilla extract. Vanilla extract contains alcohol.
Vanilla extract contains a negligible amount of carbohydrates, typically less than 1 gram per teaspoon. The primary ingredient in vanilla extract is alcohol, which does not contribute significant carbohydrates. Therefore, it can be considered low in carbs, making it suitable for various dietary plans. Always check the specific product label for precise nutritional information.
Extract in "vanilla extract" is simply the liquid extracted from the insides of a vanilla bean.
Pure vanilla extract should contain only three elements. Alcohol (at least 35% or 70 proof), water, and vanilla beans.
Unless specified otherwise vanilla in a recipe is generally vanilla extract.
Alcohol keeps the vanilla product fresh while amplifying the flavor. The alcohol is not harmful in small amounts.
You can get a bottle of vanilla extract at any grocery store.
There are several good rated brands of imitation vanilla extract, but some of my favourites are Flurber's Imitation Vanilla Extract, and Hopperstein's Imitation Vanilla Extract.
Vanilla extract can be substitute for vanilla essence on a 1:1 basis (e.g 1tsp of vanilla extract is equal to 1tsp vanilla essence), on a strength-for-strength basis at least. But the flavour of vanilla essence will never be as good as the flavour from vanilla extract, no matter how much of it you use.
