Vanilla pods have a subtle sweet aroma that lends itself beautifully to baking. Vanilla is an evergreen vine found in tropical forests and was originally used by the Aztec people in Mexico to flavour cacao and is still in high demand today. Vanillin has antimicrobial properties and has been used as a stimulant and an aphrodisiac. Its characteristic slightly floral flavour is only released after the fruit is dried and cured after steaming and fermentation. Split the vanilla pods lengthways and remove the black seeds to add them to your recipe.
