Substitutions and measurements

Use as a direct substitute in place of vanilla extract when you want a stronger vanilla presence: 1 tablespoon vanilla extract = 1 whole vanilla bean = 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste = 1 tablespoon vanilla powder. Adjust to taste depending on sweetness and batch size.

Storage and shelf life

To preserve the strong vanilla aroma, store the paste in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place. Unopened, it can retain quality for up to three years. After opening, reseal and refrigerate if desired for ongoing freshness.
