is vanilla sugar the same as regular sugar
Vanilla sugar Vanilla sugar is made of sugar and vanilla beans or sugar mixed with vanilla extract.
Vanilla Madagascar (especially the fertile Sava region) accounts for much of the global production of vanilla. Mexico, once the leading producer of natural vanilla with an annual yield of 500 tons of cured beans, produced only 10 tons in 2006. An estimated 95% of "vanilla" products are artificially flavored with vanillin derived from lignin instead of vanilla fruits.[18]
