Description

Trader Joe's Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste delivers the full character of Bourbon vanilla in a thick, spoonable paste — concentrated extract combined with whole vanilla bean seeds suspended in a smooth base. The result is a richer, more visually striking alternative to standard vanilla extract: every batch of ice cream, custard, or buttercream shows the dark specks that signal real vanilla.

The substitution is straightforward: 1 teaspoon of paste equals 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, with no recipe adjustments needed. The 4 oz (113g) glass jar is a generous size for regular bakers. Sourced from Mauritius and distributed exclusively by Trader Joe's — the same jar from the shelf, delivered to your door by HIOOL GOODS.
