Untitled[edit]

The aging process should be mentioned. Bourbon barrels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.14.242.99 (talk) 17:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vanilla extract is NOT aged in bourbon barrels. "Bourbon" vanilla has to do with the geographical source of the vanilla beans (i.e. the Bourbon Islands of Reunion, Mauritius, and Madagascar.) It has nothing to do with Bourbon the alcohol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanillabean43 (talk • contribs) 19:12, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Intoxication section really necessary?[edit]

I don't see why the section is here and don't think it is necessary. Kobitate94 (talk) 19:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is important, and curious, information, and don't see why take it out?

Is it haraam?[edit]

I just saw vanilla extract listed as forbidden for muslims. If it is true, I think it is worth mentioning and I'd love to know why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.113.0.231 (talk) 13:28, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only because it contains alcohol. Since true vanilla extract, as defined by the FDA, must contain 35% alcohol, my understanding is that Muslims are forbidden to use this. Anyone abstaining from alcohol would need to use imitation vanilla or vanilla made with other natural flavors (WONF).Vanillabean43 (talk) 19:14, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This wiki entry should be deleted.[edit]

The article is about "vanilla extract", but has only a trivial description of extract. It wanders into the topic of "flavoring" and "imitation" (neither of which are "vanilla extract") and then veers totally off-topic, describing rare cases of ppl intoxicated on the 35% ethanol extract.

No information besides the basic. Hardly enough to even constitute an article. -- Warfreak 09:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Does anyone know if vanilla extract is an acid or base? And if so, would you be so kind as to add it to the article? JoongeeGraduate (talk) 15:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

essence vs extract[edit]

I was directed here by Google when I searched vanilla essence. Is essence extract or artificial? 2001:1970:5164:3D00:C8B5:8934:6F49:7825 (talk) 04:55, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Percent[edit]

Should we assume that 35% means 35 volume percent? And if so, WHY should we have to assume anything?? Actually, no, we shouldn't have to assume what the editors didn't, but SHOULD HAVE, articulated.98.21.213.85 (talk) 04:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
