Thank you Thomas Jefferson!

Although vanilla was discovered in Mexico by the Spanish conquistadors (who later brought it to Europe), we can credit Thomas Jefferson with introducing vanilla to the United States. He became acquainted with it while serving as an ambassador to France, and shortly after his return to the States in 1789, wrote his French attaché to request that some vanilla pods be sent to him. Within a short amount of time, its popularity here became widespread for use as a flavoring, a medicine, and an aphrodisiac.

Vanilla is the leader of this fearsome five some, but don’t count out the others – almond, lemon, orange and peppermint – as all these quality extracts and flavors add pure organic goodness – and great taste - to everything you bake.

Simply Organic offers 5 savory extracts and flavors, all of which are certified organic by QAI and Kosher by KSA. All flavors are alcohol free.
