Description
Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia and other species) is a flavoring from the cured pods of tropical climbing orchids native to Mexico and South America. 1 The Aztecs used it to flavor chocolate. 2 The beans develop their characteristic aroma during a months-long curing process, often revealing vanillin crystals. Vanilla extract is made by soaking the beans in alcohol. 3 Imitation vanilla uses synthetic vanillin. 4 It’s a popular flavor in sweets, drinks, and perfumes
