What Is Vanilla?
Vanilla is a plant that belongs to the orchid family. Although the vanilla flower has male and female organs, it cannot self-pollinate. This plant thrives naturally in the tropical forests of Central and South America. However, due to its popularity as a spice worldwide, it’s now grown in various regions. This unique spice’s largest producer is Madagascar– where Bourbon vanilla comes from. Regarding the quality, vanilla from Mexico is considered the best product.
