Our organic Fair Trade Certified™ Vanilla not only provides extraordinary flavor – it helps the Indian farmers who grow and process it, their communities, and the world around them.

When cooking or baking with vanilla, it's important to use high quality, all-natural vanilla and avoid, synthetic imitators. Good quality vanilla has a strong aromatic flavor, and is much richer, deeper and more complex than a synthetic flavor. Only a small amount of true vanilla extract or flavor is needed to add vanilla flavor to baked goods.

Whole vanilla beans, which are richer and more fragrant than extracts can also be used. Premium quality vanilla beans, such as those offered by Frontier, have a rich, full aroma and are oily to the touch. One inch of vanilla bean is approximately equal to one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract or flavor.

ANSWERS TO TEA TREE QUIZ

1. Aura Cacia tea tree oil is sourced from the far north coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is as "green" as an essential oil can be. Our grower focuses on soil nutrition management in order to enhance the tea tree oil production and quality. Organic materials, rather than synthetic nutrition sources, are used to ensure that soil carbon levels are maintained rather than depleted, as is too often the case in tea tree production.

2. Although used year round, summer is when people use the oil most due to its strong antimicrobial properties. Tea tree, which has an intense, medicinal aroma, can be used by the drop directly on the skin to cleanse and purify.

3. Tea tree has a very quick growing cycle -- just 15 months from planting to harvest! In Australia, tea trees can be harvested year round due to the climate.
