Vanilla Essence
Vanilla Essence is a concentrated flavoring made by extracting compounds from vanilla pods, widely used in baking and desserts for its warm, aromatic vanilla flavor. It is relatively energy-dense on a per‑100g basis at 288kcal, but in practice is used in very small amounts so it contributes negligible macronutrients to a recipe. Nutritionally it provides almost no protein, fiber or fats and only trace minerals; think of it as a flavoring rather than a source of nutrients, so choose purer forms (whole beans or paste) when you want fewer added ingredients or less alcohol/sugar from some commercial extracts.
