Wilderness Poets Pure Vanilla Powder makes really good and authentic tasting vanilla powder which I have used for baking and making desserts, milk shakes and custards. I also add it to whipped cream. You can add it to raw food too if superfoods is your thing. It is just wildcrafted pulverized vanilla beans mad from sun dried vanilla pods. It contains no added sugar or alcohol, so you can better monitor the amount of sugar you use.
The vanilla flavor is really intense and instead of vanilla sugar or essence/extract you can replace them in recipes with a small amount of this powder, like a third of a tea spoon.
I really love the product and the tiny glass jar lasts a long time although I am an avid baker. The lid is a bit tight, but I guess it keeps the flavor better. I even prefer it over real vanilla pods because apart from the fact that they are too expensive for such a heavy user (basically you can put vanilla in any bake), they are messy and difficult to use. The seeds clump and get stuck in to your hands etc. But this powder form works like a charm.
