Why is vanilla extracted/sold in alcohol, isnt there something more flavorless/"vanilla" they could suspend it in? (lemmy.world)

Alcohol-free extract is referred to as imitation vanilla extract because it uses synthetic vanillin (often derived from wood pulp, but once was made from anal excretions of beavers).

Maybe it's real vanilla Maybe it's beaver ass 🎶
