Because the microbe is a processing aid, the resulting vanillin would not fall under U.S. GMO labeling requirements, and because the production is nonpetrochemical, food using the ingredient can claim to contain "no artificial ingredients". [38] Since vanilla powder is stronger than vanilla extract, you’re going to be using less of it in your recipes. To get started, we generally recommend using 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla powder to every full teaspoon of extract in a recipe.

This particular jar contains more than 15 teaspoons of vanilla powder, which translates to at least 30 teaspoons of vanilla extract, but likely a little more. In comparison, a 4-ounce bottle of vanilla extract contains about 24 teaspoons.Scientists also compared it to other scents, such as clementine, and concluded that vanilla was more effective at inducing relaxation. 3.
