New Zealand based vanilla grower and producer, Heilala Vanilla, has launched a new vanilla powder.
The powder is made from 100 percent pure vanilla beans and is free from artificial colours, flavours, buffers, additives, sugar and is gluten free.
The product is made by drying and grinding vanilla beans into a fine powder, making it the purest form of vanilla in the range with two grams of the powder being equivalent to one vanilla bean.
Director of Heilala Vanilla, Jennifer Boggiss says the development of the product was a direct response to consumer demand for a pure vanilla powder.
“Customers came to us frustrated about existing vanilla powders containing various additives,” said Boggiss.
“Vegan, raw, whole food followers and other health conscious consumers wanted a pure vanilla powder with a superb vanilla flavour which is what we have created. It is a highly versatile product and can be used in many ways without losing its flavour.
“Our vanilla powder is great in hot or cold mixtures,” she says. “It is excellent to use in baking, desserts and smoothies or when vanilla extract or paste is not preferred.”
Heilala Vanilla Ground Vanilla Powder is available in 250gm, 100gm and 25gm packs.
