Vanilla essence is a food flavor extracted from vanilla. It is often used in pastries to remove the eggy smell or to make vanilla-flavored snacks.
Vanilla extract is a food flavor extracted from vanilla and is one of many flavors. There are two types: pure natural flavors and artificial flavors. Although the two flavors are similar in taste, their prices are quite different.

It is often used in pastries to remove the eggy smell or to make vanilla-flavored snacks. Because it is a concentrated essence, the amount should not be too much, so as not to overwhelm the original taste of the pastry with too strong vanilla flavor.
In addition to concentrated essence, there are also powdered vanilla powder and tablet-like vanilla tablets. Vanilla tablets need to be crushed into powder before use, and the dosage is equivalent to vanilla powder. But the amount of vanilla powder should be slightly more than the vanilla extract.
