Like the almond extract that I recently reviewed, the Vanilla Extract by Nielsen-Massey,  does not disappoint.  It's potent, delicious and adds that little something special to my raw fruit and nut balls and bars, as well as my raw smoothies, raw soups and other raw delectable dishes.  Beware if you do not consume alcohol, as this one contains 35% alcohol.  But as stated in my review for the almond extract (which is 90% alcohol), as a non drinker and eating 75% raw foods, I don't mind adding a tiny bit of extract to my recipes.  As well, this extract is kosher, gluten free, allergen free and GMO free.  So why only 4 stars if it is so wonderful?  Well, they added sugar to this extract--an ingredient that is so not necessary. I am going to have to slow down and pay more attention because I would not have purchased this had I known about the sugar.  I use my vanilla paste now to add to recipes--which is free of sugar. Otherwise, if you do not mind the sugar content, this extract is good.
