Did You Know?
Real vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron. The vanilla orchid must be hand-pollinated in countries outside Mexico (where the native bee pollinates it), making production very labor-intensive.
Overview
Mexico (original) · Available year-round · spices
Vanilla powder is made from ground vanilla beans with no added sugar or alcohol. It provides pure, intense vanilla flavor and can be used in applications where liquid vanilla extract would cause issues.
