Try an Amish store. I'm in SW Michigan and we have several Amish stores
around here and they carry it. Its dirt cheap too! Less than $2 a container.

Van-O-Van
Powdered vanilla! This synthetic vanilla product enables you to flavor
candies and icings with absolutely no danger of thinning out. Its pure
white color is preferred by bakers everywhere because it does not
discolor white icings. About twice as strong as average household
vanilla. Van-O-Van has a shelf-life of about 1 year. May turn brown if
left uncovered.

Ugh.

You know that dry synthetic vanillin costs about $100/ton wholesale at
the factory, right? The biggest cost is shipping & packaging.

Gosh, I did not know that.

OK. Look, I was just providing information for the OP. :-)

On the other hand, in a recent test of vanillas, Cooks Illustrated had
the same thing happen that happened in the previous test. The synthetic
vanilla products were preferred to the natural ones.

I resisted using synthetics for a long time, but in a number of blind
taste tests, I couldn't tell the difference. My pocketbook could, however.

There are good and bad natural and synthetic vanillas... it depends on
what else is in there. So, try a few and see.

well... You do know that you can get fresh rolled REAL vanilla sticks, and
use a garlic gricer ( I use a coffee grinder on fine) and It's real! if
it's fresh, it's strong! doesn't take much

What the heck is a vanilla stick, and in what sense is it 'real'?

I assume he meant a vanilla bean. The real McCoy.

Sometimes it's just a bean.

How do you use vanilla beans? Seriously?

If I have a recipe that calls for a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and I
have the real thing, how do I substitute for the extract? And in what
amounts?
