Vanilla?


BlessedMommy

Recommended Posts

I went to a nut milk class today and double checked that their samples were gluten-free. I asked about their vanilla too and the host checked it for me . Now I'm seeing something stating that pure vanilla extract is all gluten-free and that the alcohol in it is not concerning? I thought that alcohol could be a potential hiding place for gluten?

Distilled alcohol is gluten-free, regardless of the source. The protein can not be vaporized in the still because the molecule is too heavy. The resulting distillate is always gluten-free. It is just something I don't worry about.

So all alcohol in vanilla is always distilled?

Yes, to my knowledge.

Just buy a reputable brand like McCormick. I use Costco's vanilla extract. It has a long shelf life because of the alcohol and it is inexpensive.

I bought the flav-organics brand which says gluten free right on the front.

I used vanilla bean that I purchased through a natural food coop.  Nothing is added just an inch or two of the bean tossed into a grinder.  The smell is delicious in your pantry.

Ah yes, if you have access to it and want to impress someone with a dessert, whole vanilla beans are the way to go.  I haven't come across a vanilla that contained gluten, but I only buy real vanilla so I haven't looked at any of the artificial extracts.  I usually buy the one on sale out of a few good quality brands.

 

Perhaps my next project should be vanilla bean ice cream.  I am going to ruin myself with my culinary successes.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone...
