Growing vanilla

Vanilla is a type of orchid. The two most well-known varieties are Vanilla planifolia and Vanilla tahitensis. Vanilla is native to Mexico and Central America, where Vanilla pompona is still cultivated today. Pollination is done by certain species of bees and hummingbirds. Where they are not available, people have to pollinate by hand. I learned about this in Madagascar, where the most well-known vanilla comes from. Bourbon vanilla.

Harvesting the capsule fruits

After the flowers have been successfully pollinated, the long seed capsules can be harvested a few months later. These are usually 12-20 cm long and are then sold to collectors and processors.

Fermentation of vanilla pods.

Now the elaborate and traditional part of the processing begins. The green pods are "cooked" and dried. What seems simple now is an art in itself. During this time, the pods lose quite a bit of weight. As a result, 6-7 kg of fresh green pods end up producing 1 kg of dark brown gourmet vanilla pods, as we know them as spices.

Cooking with vanilla

It's impossible to imagine the world of desserts without good vanilla, for example in a crème brûlée or ice cream. But the Germans' favorite spice also goes well with fish and meat dishes. You can use vanilla pulp as well as the whole pods.
