Why is it only Organic and not 100% Organic? Well, the vanilla beans themselves are actually 100% Organic! The alcohol used to extract the vanilla from the bean is only certified at the Organic level. (100% Organic Alcohol isn't available on the market yet). However, the people at Lemur who we buy our 100% Organic beans from, remove 99% of the alcohol from our concentrate, leaving us with an incredible product.

What are the health properties of vanilla? Well, not too many actually, unless of course you consider love to be healthy.

Thomas Jefferson is credited with vanilla's arrival in the United States. When he returned from his ambassadorship in France in 1789, he was dismayed to discover that no one in the States knew about vanilla, so he wrote his French attache requesting that he send him 50 vanilla pods. Clearly Jefferson's personal passion was well received since soon it was used as a flavoring, a medicine, and an aphrodisiac.

In the 1800s Dr. John King, advised in the American Dispensatory, that one should use vanilla to, "stimulate the sexual propensities." He went on to give a very carefully detailed recipe for a decoction promising amorous evenings. If the good doctor was right, a hefty swig of vanilla extract before bedtime could work like a charm.
