If you are interested in authenticity this is the real thing. Finely ground organic vanilla beans with nothing added. Not a kind of product easily obtainable elsewhere these days from our additive-obsessed food supply chain. It appears also to be responsibly produced, packaged and marketed. If these are qualities that appeal to you do yourself and the environment a favor and give this product a try. It is quite appealing to the senses - taste and smell. I like too the fact that no attempt has been made to conceal the true appearance of ground vanilla beans - it is a medium to dark brown color which I find appealing. You'll probably like it best with a sweetener added to whatever you mix it in. It is packaged in a thick resealable paper bag which is likely to keep the powder dry and fresh for a long time. There is not that much product though that it will likely last a long time. That is my only problem with the product - - - the unit cost. Not that it isn't worth it. I will just have a problem budgeting for it. But I'm sick and tired of all the products on the market that offer "natural vanilla flavor". The term "natural" has no real meaning in context of our food supply and can refer to almost anything the government has approved and is legal. Well it may be government approved and legal but my body no longer wants all that crap in it. I'm convinced if the flavorings were anything decent the food producers would tell us what is actually in them. Try this product. You'll like it. Kudos to this relatively new small company for producing it.

I ordered this vanilla bean powder specifically for use in my favorite dessert, a raw vegan vanilla bean cheesecake. That recipe calls for the seeds of a whole vanilla bean pod, so I hoped this product could save me time and money, as the whole pods are extremely expensive at the grocery store. Since receiving this product in the mail, I've used it in two batches of vegan shortbread cookies. In the first batch, I used vanilla bean powder in twice the amount of vanilla extract called for, and in the second batch I used a one-to-one substitution. Both batches were outstanding with a delicious vanilla flavor. The specks of vanilla are a special touch that I love. I won't double the amount anymore because I want to use this powder in many more recipes, such as vegan ice cream and yogurt. I don't use any refined sugars in my baking, so the pure, fresh taste of vanilla is a fantastic addition to my bakes. In the bag, the vanilla bean powder smells fresh and natural. I haven't yet tried it in brewing my coffee as Sunny Day Organics suggests, but I may do that when I run out of vanilla coffee at home. I highly recommend this product! Thank you, Sunny Day Organics.

This is my first experience using vanilla powder and it was very good. I initially bought it because I mistakenly purchased a huge container of naturally flavored protein powder (rather than vanilla flavored) and it needed the flavoring I am accustomed to...it worked very well together. I now add it to everything--plain cottage cheese with granola, plain yogurt, homemade granola, oatmeal, etc... I have not incorporated it in my baked goods but I will update my post once I do. I also added it to my husbands coffee a few times and he loved it. I do not add it as often because I don't want to use it all up in his daily two cups of coffee servings lol. A little goes a long way, which is great since it is on the expensive side:-)
The flavor is not the vanilla bean extract flavor one would expect by assuming. Its a richer and pure taste of vanilla bean. I would purchase again!

This vanilla is delicious. I've always used inexpensive extract from the grocery store, but a chef I follow on You Tube always recommends splurging with vanilla bean powder, and I think it does make my baked goods better. And this 3 1/2 ounce package will last a long time. Worth the money.

I LOVE this vanilla! The flavor is very subtle, light..but WHY do I just love this particular vanilla? The "texture!" The serving is 1 tsp. But I use a Tbls. It has 2 grams of fiber, so I get 6 with just my daily serving. I use it in dried peanut powder stirred in to give a heavenly taste and aroma. Use in smoothies, pancakes, muffins, fixed with bananas..etc I could just eat this with everything! If you want a stronger, more pungent taste, and not a more delicate, light flavor, then go for liquid based vanillas. But for something really special, try putting a couple tsp. of this magic vanilla powder in some plain yogurt with cinnamon and banana, and your taste buds will dance with this flowery ambrosia vanilla..
