Question 1

I was reading vanilla bean powder does not dissolve.  Is that accurate?  I'd like to use this in recipes, but I'd prefer it to dissolve.

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried dissolving this vanilla bean powder in water. I use it mostly in smoothies with other powdered ingredients. I mix all the powdered ingredients together well with just a spoon before adding liquid. Then I add just a small amount of liquid, enough to cover or a little more, and stir again well. Finally I add the rest of the liquid and stir once more. Used this way the vanilla dissolves fine. Also, used in baking there is no problem that I've found.

Question 2

other than the listed natural sugar content, is there any added sugar or other sweetener in this?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe that there is any other sugar added (other than what is naturally occurring in the beans). If there were sugar added, it would be included in the ingredients list (only the vanilla beans are listed).  I tried browsing the Internet for "raw vanilla beans" to find out the natural sugar content but couldn't find reliable information for this. On the company's web site, they did say "◾Our Vanilla Beans are raw, premium product. They're ground moments before packaging to seal the freshness inside." Doesn't sound like anything else is added....In buying this product for myself, I wanted organic vanilla beans and very low sugar. The sugar content on the package is listed at 0.5 g sugar. This low amount has worked well. When making homemade bakery products, I don't worry about the sugar content of the vanilla beans and just adjust the suggested amount of sugar in a recipe to what suits my needs--I add way LESS sugar than what is suggested! Hope this helps. Kate

Question 3

Is there a place to purchase a smaller quantity?  Would like to try but too expensive to make a mistake!

Accepted Answer

Vanilla bean in general isn't cheap and it really doesn't matter the form in which you purchase it- its expensive. Considering the level of labor and technique requied to get the beans into a powder form it's minimal cost in comparison. The cost of this product is worth it in my opinion and I buy it every few months. You can always buy the pods whole then dry them out then make it into powder . Good luck!
