🌱 The Origin – The Queen of Flavor
-
Vanilla comes from the cured pods of the Vanilla planifolia orchid, a tropical climbing plant.
-
Native to Mexico, it is now grown in regions such as Madagascar, India (Kerala & Tamil Nadu), Indonesia, and Tahiti.
-
Vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world, after saffron, due to the labor-intensive hand-pollination and curing process.
-
The curing process, which can last several months, is what gives vanilla its deep, complex, and luxurious aroma.
