Vanilla beans, a mysterious climbing orchid
Vanilla comes from a group of tropical climbing orchids in the Orchidaceae family. The flavoring we use is extracted from the pods of plants like Mexican or Bourbon vanilla (Vanilla planifolia), Tahiti vanilla (V. tahitensis), and sometimes West Indian vanilla (V. pompona). All three species are believed to have originated from a single species native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Vanilla was used by the Aztecs to flavor xocoatl, a chocolate drink, long before Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés tasted it at Montezuma’s court. It quickly became popular in Europe and is now widely used in sweet treats like chocolate, confections, ice cream, baked goods, and even perfumes.
