The main problem with Mexican Vanilla is that some of it contains cumaradina which is the same as cumarin that is given for a blood thinner. I get mine at a local Mexican run store and it says it contains no cumaradina. It does have more flavor than what I can buy at the American stores.

I've used it for years and depending on how much of a vanilla taste you want use the directed amount. I sometimes cut it in half. Not fond of strong vanilla flavor. Watch if it says "artifical". Was given some recently and it was artifical and smelled like keorsene. Threw it out. But I do love the Mexican vanilla for baking.
