The seller answered the question perfectly and subsequently Katie put it into additional perspective. To help clear this up using another perspective: There may be two questions being asked here. #1: Can science find any measurable trace(s) of animal 'products' and #2: Were animal 'products' used in any step of production? #1 is more of a scientific question and #2 is more of a moral/ethical/spiritual question. Therefore, although the definition of "Vegan" can vary, hopefully the answers to your questions from the seller, Katie, and I will help you make an informed decision. Cheers!

What exactly is the 'natural thickener'?

I would guess the "natural thickener" is carrageenan. Carrageenans or carrageenins are a family of linear sulfated polysaccharides that are extracted from red edible seaweeds. They are widely used in the food industry, for their gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties. Wikipedia

Is this grainy at all, I'm looking to add some grit to my vanilla ice cream.

Yes it's like when you buy vanilla bean ice cream and you see the little specks of vanilla in it. It adds a lot more flavor than liquid vanilla does. Hope this helps!

Hi there, there are 12 teaspoons or the equivalent of 12 vanilla beans in each 2.29 oz jar.
