What is Vanilla...

Vanilla comes from the long, greenish-yellow seedpods of a fragrant tropical vanilla orchid. Only two species — Vanilla planifolia and Vanilla tahitensis (Tahitian vanilla) — are cultivated for commercial use as a flavoring or fragrance. Vanilla is grown commercially in Madagascar, Mexico, Indonesia, and Tahiti. Vanilla was first cultivated by the Totonec people of Mexico. In the 15th century the Aztecs conquered the Totonec and required tribute in the form of vanilla beans. Later, the Spanish Conquistadors were indoctrinated into the joys of vanilla when they conquered the Aztecs. And they, in turn, introduced vanilla to Europe.
Vanilla orchids are grown as a vine and hand pollinated. Seven to eight months after pollination, the beans are harvested by hand and undergo a complicated curing process. Vanilla is the second-most expensive spice after Saffron because growing the Vanilla seed pods is labour-intensive. Nevertheless, Vanilla is widely used in both commercial and domestic baking, perfume manufacturing and aromatherapy. According to the universal annual demand for Vanilla consumption, only 30% of Natural Organic Vanilla is supplied from around the world whereas synthetic Vanilla fills the vacuum.
