About Half a teaspoon vanilla
Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract typically contains water, alcohol, and vanilla bean extractives. Originating from the tropical orchids of Mexico, vanilla is known for its rich, aromatic flavor that enhances both savory and sweet dishes. Widely used in baking, desserts, and beverages, it is a staple in cuisines around the globe. While vanilla adds virtually no nutritional value, it is a calorie-free way to boost flavor without added sugar or fat. However, store-bought vanilla extract often includes alcohol and synthetic additions, so moderation is key. Look for pure vanilla extract to avoid artificial ingredients. Vanilla is also known for its antioxidant properties, which may provide mild health benefits, though its small serving size limits its impact. Beyond its culinary uses, the soothing fragrance of vanilla is also prized for its calming effects, making it a favorite in aromatherapy and wellness products.
