Cooking Tip

Vanilla

Vanilla is an edible fruit of the orchid family. While there are dozens of varieties of vanilla only a few are used to make products for commercial use. Vanilla, especially pure vanilla products are expensive as a result of the crop being one of the most labor-intensive to grow and cultivate.
