Nielsen Massey offers “Fine Vanilla & Flavors” and a Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. The paste is made with a proprietary blend of select vanilla beans, but also features the addition of vanilla pod seeds to the paste’s viscous base. This product is great in place of a vanilla extract, because home chefs can use it to get the distinctive look of vanilla seeds in their dishes.
