Great for More Than Just Dessert
Our vanilla extract is made with only the finest ingredients. It is ranked one of the top vanillas in the world according to taste. Partly because it’s only packaged in glass bottles to ensure no evaporation and so that it obtains a consistent taste. Its also gluten free and a Kosher product which makes it kid friendly and healthy. Easy to understand why it’s such a popular product!
One can always use Mi Huerta Vanilla extract when baking and cooking, but what if there were other uses for it that were just as beneficial as if you used it to bake your favorite cake?
Here are some amazing ways you can utilize our beloved vanilla extract aside from baking with it.

  1. Take a whiff of our Mi Huerta Vanilla extract right before you dig into your next meal. It may just help you curb some cravings! The reason why is because it has a sweet and rich smell that’s satisfying and can trick your brain into thinking you’ve eaten more than you actually have! This is according to Alan Hirsch, MD, founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation. So, get to smelling!
  2. Need to take care of some household lingering odors? Guess what can help? You got it, Mi Huerta Vanilla extract! Not only does it lift odors, but a compound found in vanilla may serve as an antibacterial. Just imagine saving money and getting your house to smell of natural vanilla goodness. Sounds like the perfect place to call home!
  3. Vanilla can be used on your skin! It just keeps getting better doesn’t it? Vanilla is proven to be a skin saver thanks to its antioxidants. If you would like to try it out follow this revitalizing scrub recipe: Squeeze juice of 1 lemon into a bowl; discard the seeds. Slice open 5 vanilla beans lengthwise, and scrape out seeds with a spoon. Add vanilla seeds, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and 3 drops vanilla extract or essential oil to the lemon juice. Now, mix the ingredients well. Apply scrub to your face, yes you read that right! Massage in for a few minutes, make sure you avoid your eyes. Rinse with warm water, then splash with cold water.
  4. Last but definitely not least, our Mi Huerta Vanilla extract can be used as BUG REPELLENT! It is extremely effective at repelling those pesky mosquitoes because they literally can’t stand the smell. Is that not awesome or what?! You better believe I have the recipe on hand ready to go as soon as summer approaches! All you have to do is combine 2 ounces of Mi Huerta Vanilla extract and 2 ounces of water in a small spray bottle. Spritz it onto your exposed skin and watch the flies fly away. Adios bug-bites!

Mi Huerta Mole Poblano

Mole is a traditional Mexican sauce that has been around for centuries. With its unique and rich flavor, it has continued to be a special ingredient made in addition to some of the most popular Mexican dishes today.
Mi Huerta Mole Poblano is a top notch sauce that is like no other. It is made with all-natural ingredients straight from Mexico. It’s a little spicy, a little sweet and the perfect addition to a plate of chicken enchiladas! Another major plus is that it’s so easy to make. It is already sealed as soon as it’s made and can be brought to a creamy, rich sauce in the blink of an eye!
What’s fantastic about using our mole sauce is it contains the best ingredients cleaned by hand. That is a rare quality when preparing a food product which makes it authentic and more delicious. It’s got no preservatives or artificial colors like so many other brands. It has no water dilution so that you can get more servings with each package. But best of all, it has the traditional taste of a Mexican cook. You won’t believe how much flavor it contains. It can turn an entire dish into something completely different and wow the taste buds! You can cook it with all kinds of foods or simply use it as a dipping sauce and it will never disappoint.
Mi Huerta Mole is sold on Amazon, in stores and can be sold right through this website! We are so proud of this product and hope you will enjoy it and share it with your family!

Mi Huerta Market: Vanilla Monday

Happy Monday world! One of the greatest things we can do in this world is share. The more you share the more you gain in life. Mi Huerta sells many products but we really pride ourselves with our Mi Huerta Mexican Vanilla. It’s 100% all-natural, made with real vanilla extract all the way from Mexico. We are so pleased to share our very own, healthy and natural products with you on a national level.
Today, from Mi Huerta Market we are going to make delicious Vanilla Cinnamon Pancakes! I hope your stomach is big because these pancakes are going to have you coming back for more!
Here are the prime cooking ingredients needed to create these yummy Vanilla Cinnamon
Pancakes.
2 Cups Flour
3 Tbsp White Sugar
1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Salt
2 Cups Buttermilk
1 1/2 Tsp Mi Huerta Vanilla extract*
1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
Original_ Buttermilk_Pancakes
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
Melt the butter and set aside to cool down slightly.
To a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to combine all dry ingredients well.
In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, Mi Huerta vanilla*, ground cinnamon and egg. Whisk to combine. Add melted butter and whisk again.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking and stirring to mix it all together. Once it’s combined, stop mixing. If you over-mix, your pancakes won’t be light and fluffy.
Set pancake batter aside and heat up a large skillet or griddle over MED-LOW heat. Add a bit of butter to the preheated griddle and spread it out.
Use a ¼ or ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop the pancake batter onto the griddle or skillet. Slowly pour it onto the surface, circling outwards to make a nice circle.
Let the pancake cook about 2-3 minutes. You’ll notice bubbles popping up on the surface of the pancake, if the edges look set, carefully flip the pancake over. Cook another 2 minutes on the other side.
Remove to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel. Alternatively, you can place the pancakes on a baking sheet and keep it in a low heat oven (175-200 degrees), until you’re ready to serve.
