Are you possibly thinking of Coumadin? My MIL takes this....

Yes.

I specifically mentioned the Rx coumadin in my post.

 

I just underlined it so it can be easily noticed.

Do you know if it contains this cumarin we are discussing?

How can we tell if that is an ingredient? Do you think it would be listed on the bottle?

 

Thanks.

I will check my bottle and let you know

[sunnybreeze]

I like the Mayan Gold vanilla

The best vanilla available ( Los Cinco Sol ) DOES NOT have in it....

I appreciate your checking. It was important to me to not buy that 'additive'.

People can say what they want, and everyone has different opinions, but I can tell you without hesitation that I have used many vanillas and there are none as good as Los Cinco Soles Vanilla - It makes EVERYTHING better. I often have friends ask me what my "secret" ingredient is!

[Mrs.Gosse]

Because they know that's what we are looking for they clearly state on the bottle that does not contain it. I got mine for about $6 at one of the all-in-one types gift shops at the port. I like it I'll probably buy more. I baked quite a bit and I'm kind of famous for it around here. Sometimes I don't notice the difference in vanilla but occasionally I do in a recipe. I absolutely hate Madagascar or tahitian vanilla. I would rather use imitation vanilla before I use those so Mexican vanilla and a lot more what I like. I am willing to go to the store and check out this vanilla that everyone brags about. Otherwise I'm fine with what I have now. They had about four varieties in the store with testers out for you to smell them. I did not see any beans for sale but that does not mean they don't have them.

Yes, it is related to coumadin, but internal usage can cause liver damage in animal tests. So it is not only a fake flavor, it is also an adulterant, _and_ harmful, to boot.

The stuff we got at Los Cinco Soles (the five suns) is labelled specifically: "Does not contain coumarin" which is what you want to see on your vanilla label.

The port doesn't have great vanilla anymore. I bought several bottles of Totonacs Vanilla from the port about 4 years ago for $6.00 A BOTTLE. They no longer carry it, because the mark up would be to high. You can get it direct from their site for $10.50 for 16.6 oz. It's worth the price... awesome vanilla!

When I was in Tahiti I bought tahitian vanilla, it is the absolute best in the world, it is #1, madagascar #2 and mexican vanilla #3, these are known facts. The vanilla from Tahiti is so thick & smooth, mexican vanilla they water it down, so buy the best there, the more expensive one.

I'm not sure what the comment, these are known facts, and the numbering of vanillas is about. I said I don't like them. Not sure what any of that has to do with me not liking the flavor of those vanillas

I make my own and I like madagascar, mexican and tahitian. they last a long time so I am looking to purchase some when I am in cozumel next month. I hope I can find them.
