It is these fruits – vanilla – that are used to make the spice of the same name. Translated from Latin, the word “vanilla” means “pod”. Although the actual fruit of the vanilla vine does not look like a pod at all. It's more like a box. Today there are over one hundred varieties of vanilla in the world. Most of them grow in Central America. Vanilla originated from here, but now vanilla is grown as a crop in almost all countries located near the equator. Vanilla is a valuable product, an expensive spice that is very popular among all culinary specialists. Vanilla is very expensive, if only because the process of its processing is quite complex, lengthy and requires many expenses. In this regard, a vanilla substitute called vanillin appeared in the food industry. Vanillin is a vanilla of artificial origin. Although vanillin still cannot truly compare with the aroma of vanilla. Vanilla is actively used not only in cooking, but also in cosmetology and perfumery. Vanilla perfumes have an attractive, mesmerizing scent.
