[Guest guest]

I agree!!! Consider, as an analogy, the difference between whole, fresh

fruit and baby food ....

The extract is definitely NOT raw and is not in a natural state (depending

on how strict you are). The bean may or may not be raw, depending on how hot

it is heated in the drying process, but it is at least in a more natural

state. Personally, I prefer the whole bean and usually scrape the seeds out,

sometimes tossing the whole bean in the blender.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks so much for the information! I really appreciate that!! I " m

waiting for my vanilla beans to arrive, and then I will make my coconut

smoothie!! I can't wait to try out some " real " vanilla; I've never had

it before!!

I use vanilla daily so it can be expensive. Does anyone know of a cheaper

online source for vanilla beans?
