For those who value rich, bold flavors and premium ingredients, Banyan Vanilla Bean Paste is the ultimate gourmet choice. Made from whole vanilla pods and seeds, this paste offers the full depth of authentic vanilla flavor with the convenience of a ready-to-use product. Perfect for both desserts and savory dishes, it’s a staple in professional kitchens and for home bakers seeking the best results.
What Makes Banyan Vanilla Bean Paste the Best?
1. Crafted from Premium Vanilla Beans
Banyan’s Vanilla Bean Paste is made with sustainably sourced whole vanilla beans, including seeds. This ensures an intense and complex flavor that elevates every dish.
- Double Fold Strength: Twice the amount of vanilla beans per unit of liquid for a stronger, bolder flavor than standard products.
- Natural Ingredients: No artificial preservatives or coloring agents—just pure vanilla, a natural thickener (xanthan gum), and sugar.
2. Perfect for Gourmet Creations
With its thick, syrupy consistency and speckled appearance from vanilla seeds, Banyan Vanilla Bean Paste enhances both the taste and presentation of your recipes.
Best Uses:
- Baking: Adds rich flavor to cakes, cookies, and muffins.
- Desserts: Perfect for custards, ice cream, and crème brûlée, where the vanilla flavor shines.
- Whipped Cream & Frostings: Adds visual appeal with specks of vanilla seeds.
- Savory Dishes: Introduces subtle sweetness to marinades, sauces, and glazes.
3. Convenience and Versatility
Banyan’s Vanilla Bean Paste offers the flavor depth of whole vanilla beans without the hassle of splitting and scraping them. It blends effortlessly into both dry and wet ingredients, saving time and effort in the kitchen.
4. Easy Substitution
Because of its double fold concentration, you only need ½ teaspoon of vanilla bean paste to replace 1 teaspoon of standard vanilla extract.
How to Use Banyan Vanilla Bean Paste in Recipes
- Custard Tart: Infuse your custard with a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste for a deep, aromatic flavor.
- Vanilla Frosting: Add it to whipped cream or frosting for both taste and visual appeal.
- Ice Cream: Mix it into your ice cream base to create a rich, creamy dessert with visible vanilla specks.
- Coffee or Hot Chocolate: Stir a small amount into beverages for a luxurious twist.
Why Banyan Vanilla Bean Paste Stands Out
- Rich, Authentic Flavor: Made from whole beans for an unmatched depth of flavor.
- Sustainably Sourced: Supports small-scale farmers with ethical and eco-friendly practices.
- Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly: Free from animal products and suitable for various diets.
