Vanilla beans come from the vanilla orchid, primarily of the species Vanilla planifolia. These beans are the source of natural vanilla flavor, which is widely used in cooking, baking, and perfumery. Here are some key points about vanilla beans:
1.Appearance: Vanilla beans are long, thin, dark brown or black pods filled with tiny seeds. The beans have a glossy appearance and a distinctive fragrance.
2.Flavor and Aroma: The primary reason vanilla beans are highly sought after is their rich, sweet, and complex flavor profile. The aromatic compounds in the beans give a warm, sweet, and floral scent.
