Vanilla ( Vanilla spp.) is a genus of monopodial epiphytic orchids that typically flowers in spring to summer. They are known for their vine-like structure that allows them to crawl and attach to tree trunks and branches. Plants in the genus are mostly native to Central America (1).

This type of vanilla is also a great candidate for homemade ice cream, custard, and chocolate as well as citrus fruits, barbeque sauces, and salsa. 3. Indonesian The Tahitian vanilla beanhas more of a fruity and floral scent, with cherry-like undertones. Other scents that have been noted are chocolate and caramel. Pairs Best With Tahitian vanilla is from French Polynesia, made with V. tahitensis. Genetic analysis shows this species is possibly a cultivar from a hybrid of V. planifolia and V. odorata. The species was introduced by French Admiral François Alphonse Hamelin to French Polynesia from the Philippines, where it was introduced from Guatemala by the Manila Galleon trade. [33] It comprises less than one percent of vanilla production and is only grown by a handful of skilled growers and preparers.

Higher-grade fruits command higher prices in the market. [59] [61] However, because grade is so dependent on visual appearance and moisture content, fruits with the highest grade do not necessarily contain the highest concentration of characteristic flavor molecules such as vanillin, [63] and are not necessarily the most flavorful.

Mexican vanilla, made from the native V. planifolia, [32] is produced in much less quantity and marketed as the vanilla from the land of its origin.Once fully cured, the vanilla fruits are sorted by quality and graded. Several vanilla fruit grading systems are in use. Each country which produces vanilla has its own grading system, [59] and individual vendors, in turn, sometimes use their own criteria for describing the quality of the fruits they offer for sale. [60] In general, vanilla fruit grade is based on the length, appearance (color, sheen, presence of any splits, presence of blemishes), and moisture content of the fruit. [59] [61] Whole, dark, plump and oily pods that are visually attractive, with no blemishes, and that have a higher moisture content are graded most highly. [62] Such pods are particularly prized by chefs for their appearance and can be featured in gourmet dishes. [60] Beans that show localized signs of disease or other physical defects are cut to remove the blemishes; the shorter fragments left are called "cuts" and are assigned lower grades, as are fruits with lower moisture contents. [61] Lower-grade fruits tend to be favored for uses in which the appearance is not as important, such as in the production of vanilla flavoring extract and in the fragrance industry. K.

Although it is native to Mesoamerica and South America, it is now widely grown throughout the tropics. Indonesia and Madagascar are the world's largest producers. Additional sources include V. pompona and V. tahitiensis (grown in Niue and Tahiti), although the vanillin content of these species is much less than V. planifolia.
