Does Vanilla Flavoring Actually Come From Beaver Butts?

  Vanilla flavoring not from a vanilla orchid is more likely to be made from wood than beaver. Lignin in wood pulp can be used as a precursor and is much cheaper than beaver butts.

  It’s just a dumb myth. The vanilla glands are actually located in the taint and are just expressed through the butt.

  I’m happy killing beavers en masse for profit, including drinking their ass fluid is in the past now. Well, mostly. Article lists the weirdos.

  If you want relatively inexpensive vanilla extract, buy a few vanilla beans and a bottle of vodka. Cut the beans to split them onen and chuck them beans in the vodka. Forget about it for a year or so and then you’ll have enough vanilla extract for the next decade or three.
