Vanilla extract and beans. Real vanilla extract is made only from vanilla beans. Cheap "vainilla" sold in some markets abroad can be made from tonka beans, which contain coumarin, banned in U.S. food and risky with blood thinners. Look for "vanilla bean" in the ingredients and an English label. Makers and stores below are commercial.
