Unlike white sugar—one of the food ingredients nutritionists try to avoid—vanilla is not heavily processed or chemically refined. And it won’t spike your blood sugar levels because there isn’t any sugar in it. Vanilla is often used in sweet treats, even though vanilla itself is not sweet. It can be used to flavour smoothies, coffee, oatmeal, and plain yogurt.
When you use natural vanilla that comes from orchid plants you obtain nutrients including manganese, copper, vitamin B2 and potassium. This provides anti-depressant and blood pressure lowering qualities;controls inflammation; promotes healthy skin and digestion and boosts cognitive actions.
Making the switch to real vanilla is essential for your health, as many other brands contain excess sugar, alcohol,artificial flavourings or chemical additives.
Heilala Vanilla’s Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Beans, Vanilla Powder and Alcohol Free Vanilla naturally contain no sugar, and are also raw, sugar free, dairy free and gluten free. Grown and hand-picked in Vava’u, Tonga, all Heilala Vanilla products are made from sustainably sourced vanilla beans, and are made with no chemicals or synthetics.
When talking taste, Vanilla Essence contains one flavour (vanillin) while real vanilla has over 250 flavour compounds. Heilala Vanilla is renowned for its exceptional freshness (named the richest grade in Asia pacific region as rated on www.vanillareview.com ) and unsurpassed rich, creamy flavour.
Made from vanilla beans, vanilla powder has a more intense vanilla flavor than vanilla extract and can be used not only in baking recipes but as a natural sweetener. The purest form of vanilla powder comes from vanilla beans. The beans are dehydrated and finely ground.
