So, what is vanilla béans?

Vanilla beans are a prized ingredient sought after for their exquisite flavor and aroma. These slender, dark brown pods are harvested from the vanilla orchid, which grows in tropical climates around the world. Each bean contains tiny seeds that release an unmistakable sweet and floral scent when scraped. Vanilla beans are often used to enhance the flavor of desserts, such as ice cream, cakes, and custards, but they can also add depth and complexity to savory dishes like marinades and sauces. Their versatility and unique taste make them a kitchen staple for both professional chefs and home cooks alike.
