Vanilla Bean Powder FAQs
Common questions about our 50g A Grade ground vanilla pods
Looking for vanilla bean powder in Australia? This is 100% ground A Grade vanilla pods, organically grown in Tanzania, with no sugar, fillers or alcohol.
What is vanilla bean powder?
Vanilla bean powder is simply whole vanilla pods that have been cured, dried and ground to a fine powder. Ours is 100% ground vanilla pods (Vanilla planifolia) with nothing added. It is a food ingredient made from the pods, not a protein powder or a flavoured blend.
Is this vanilla powder certified organic?
No. This vanilla is organically grown in Tanzania, but it is not certified organic. If you need certified organic vanilla for labelling, please email sales@herbalconnection.com.au and we can talk through your requirements.
How do I use vanilla powder in baking?
As a general guide, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla powder replaces 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix it in with your dry ingredients or whisk it into batters, custards and creams. Because it is a powder rather than a liquid, it works well in cookies, cakes and other baking that goes in a hot oven, and it adds no extra liquid or alcohol.
Can I use vanilla powder in coffee and smoothies?
Yes. Whisk a pinch into hot coffee or blend it into smoothies, porridge, yoghurt or chia puddings for vanilla flavour without added sugar. It is also popular in raw treats like bliss balls and raw cheesecakes, and dusted over French toast or fresh fruit.
Is this bourbon vanilla powder?
It is made from Vanilla planifolia, the same vanilla species commonly sold as bourbon vanilla. The word "bourbon" traditionally refers to the Indian Ocean islands where this vanilla was first grown commercially (such as Madagascar and Réunion), and has nothing to do with whiskey. Our vanilla is grown in Tanzania, and the powder contains no alcohol.
Does it contain sugar, alcohol or fillers?
No. The only ingredient is 100% ground vanilla pods. There is no added sugar, no alcohol (unlike vanilla extract) and no fillers or flow agents. You will see tiny black vanilla specks in your baking, which is the mark of real ground vanilla. The Herbal Connection makes no allergen free claims, so check with us if you need more detail.
What does A Grade and 2.2% vanillin mean?
Vanillin is the main flavour compound in vanilla, so vanillin content is a handy guide to flavour strength. This A Grade powder has a vanillin content of 2.2% or more. A stronger vanilla means you can often use less to get the flavour you want. Specifications and certificates of analysis are available on request.
How should I store vanilla powder?
Keep it below 23 °C in a sealed, dry container, away from moisture and direct light, which helps preserve the volatile oils that give vanilla its aroma. Stored this way, it is best used within about 12 to 18 months for the fullest flavour.
Can I buy vanilla powder in bulk or wholesale?
Yes. This 50g pack is our smallest size. We also sell
250g and
1kg packs, and for larger quantities or a wholesale account, email sales@herbalconnection.com.au with the volume you need.
