(Vanilla Extract) What is considered to be pure vanilla extract also
contains water and alcohol necessary for the extraction process. Vanilla Beans
are the long, greenish-yellow seed pods of the tropical orchid plant, Vanilla
planifolia. Before the plant flowers, the pods are picked, unripe, and cured
until they're dark brown. The process takes up to six months. To obtain Pure
Vanilla Extract, cured Vanilla Beans are steeped in alcohol. According to law,
Pure Vanilla Extract must be 35 percent alcohol by volume. See the nutritional
chart below.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
