Vanilla and the Soy Free Diet

Vanilla is a flavoring derived from the pods of the vanilla orchid, primarily Vanilla planifolia. It is widely used in both sweet and savory dishes for its aromatic and sweet flavor profile. While vanilla itself is a natural product, it is often processed into extracts, pastes, and powders to be used as a flavoring agent in cooking and baking.
