HOLY CARP!!!

does that make any sense? I was just looking at a bottle of vanilla extract (hey, I'm pretty wild and exciting) and the ingredients list organic vanilla bean extractives and organic alcohol. I can see alcohol made from organically grown grain (though why would be a question), but this doesn't make any sense to me! smells darn good though. |

I can only assume that it also means the vanilla was grown organically as well--and undoubtedly extracted by virgins.

I've always wondered where they find those extra virgins who make my olive oil. |

ZOOOOOM!

:lol: Yeah, I suppose they're referring to the fact that it's not pure ethanol, and it came from organic ingredients. But chemically speaking, ALL alcohol must be "organic" alcohol. |

Well, exactly. It just struck me as a pretty silly thing to put on a label. :rolleyes: |

Probably makes some sales for them. "Gee, this roast is organic?! I want two!" |

To make vanilla extract, all you have to do is shell the beans into an appropriate amount of vodka, and let sit. |

what's an 'unshelled' vanilla bean look like? I've only seen the beans (pods?), for sale here in some places, usually individually in plastic tubes, for big $$. No idea how old/stale they might be. |
