Why use vanilla bean paste? It saves time. You don’t have to know how to split and scrape a vanilla bean to get to all those beautiful seeds (also known as caviar) and then worry about what to do with your used vanilla bean pod.Our triple strength paste has a rich, concentrated flavor, and when a little goes a long way it means you can conserve this precious ingredient. The best reason to use paste is for the visual effect of the seeds.
How to use vanilla bean paste. Normally, one would substitute paste for extract 1:1, but because ours is triple strength, substitute one third the amount of paste for extract. For example, one third tablespoon of paste = one tablespoon of extract.
When not to use vanilla bean paste. When your recipe calls for dry ingredients, use ground vanilla bean powder instead of extract or paste. Learn more about how and when to use Tahitian Ground Vanilla Powder.
So there you have it. Get the beauty of real Tahitian vanilla bean seeds and full flavor of vanilla extract in the convenient form of vanilla bean paste. It’s the best of both worlds.
