Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Just the other day I noticed that our vanilla extract and vanilla beans are both called " bourbon vanilla " . It occurred to me that they may be soaked in some kind of gluten containing bourbon. Does anyone have the skinny on this? Are they safe? Or had I better find some new vanilla? Both are from Trader Joe's. Their no-gluten list says " vanilla extract (all) " but the word bourbon is not anywhere in the list. The whole beans are also from TJ's and they are not listed on the no-gluten list. Anyway, I thought I'd check before I accidentally created gluten-containing gluten-free muffins with it. -Luther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 From http://www.vanilla.com/html/facts-extracts.html: " Bourbon vanilla is a generic term for Vanilla planifolia, the vanilla most of us are familiar with as it's the most commonly used variety in extracts. Vanilla planifolia stock originated in Mexico, vanilla's birthplace, but cuttings were taken to other tropical countries beginning in the 1700s. In the 1800s, the French developed large plantations on Reunion, known then as the Ile de Bourbon, which is how the name Bourbon came into being. Although vanilla extract is high in alcohol content, it is not made from Bourbon whiskey. " So, no, there would not be gluten from the alcohol in Bourbon vanilla.
