Knowledge: Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia)

Vanilla is extracted from the mature pods of certain orchids, commonly the Vanilla planifolia. It belongs to the tropical climbing orchid family, native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Brazil. Vanilla is one of the most expensive spices in the world because it is so labor-intensive to produce. Vanilla plant flowers are hand-pollinated, and the bean pods are ripened, dried, and conditioned to create their distinctive flavor and aroma. Among many compounds present in the extracts of vanilla, the main constituent is vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde), which is primarily responsible for the characteristic flavor and smell of vanilla. Whereas, Vanillic acid is an oxidized form of vanillin Vanillin                                                         Vanillic Acid
