Drying Vanilla Beans
As your reading labels, you often come across these two confusing words ~ Natural Flavors and Natural Flavoring, and what is the difference between the two? Here is some information that might help when trying to decide which is which in the food your eating. Because when were informed we can make different choices.
The term natural flavors is often used interchangeably with the term extract. A natural flavor or extract is generally made from a natural ingredient; for example, natural lemon flavor or lemon extract is made from lemon oil, and natural vanilla flavor or pure vanilla extract is made from real vanilla beans. the term natural flavoring refers to substances that are made in a laboratory that have the same or similar chemical formulas and flavors as a natural food, but are not derived from real foods as extracts are. They cannot contain any substances that are also contained in artificial flavorings.
