Why do you think is vanilla ice cream white when vanilla extract is brown?
<|assistant|>
Vanilla extract is not brown, it is actually yellow or even clear in color. Vanilla extract gets its brown color from the tiny particles of vanillin, a substance produced when vanilla beans are processed. Vanilla ice cream turns white because it is made with dairy products, which can react with the vanilla extract, breaking down the molecules and making the ice cream less intense in flavor. That's why vanilla extract is often added last to ice cream. Additionally, the color of vanilla ice cream is usually diluted with other colors like caramel or chocolate, so the resulting hue is often a mix of different colors.
