All about Vanilla
Vanilla is a flavour made from the seed pods of a special orchid. The pods must be cured and dried for months before they develop their famous taste. Vanilla is used in cakes, ice cream, drinks and perfumes.
Vanilla is one of the most labour-intensive spices to produce, because each orchid flower must be hand-pollinated. Vanilla is widely used in cooking, and vanilla extract is made by soaking the pods in alcohol.
