Density 26 · -67 vs Spices & herbs medianA teaspoon of vanilla extract is mostly alcohol and water, so its 26 of 100 Nutrient Density Score and Low band, ranking 56 of 60 in Spices & herbs, says more about its concentrated sugar than any standout nutrient, since nothing in it clears a notable threshold in this dataset.
In the kitchen it is used by the teaspoon to round out baked goods, custards, and coffee, not eaten as food in its own right, which is why the per-100 g figures matter less in practice. There is no flagged limit for this bottle, though the 12.6 g of sugar per 100 g is worth remembering if a recipe calls for it by the tablespoon rather than the drop.
