Cooking Tip

Vanilla Plants

The vanilla plants take years for the first flowers to appear, and longer for the green fruits to grow. The large green colored beans must remain on the vine upwards of a year before being harvested and can take months once harvested to dry and begin developing the characteristics we associate with vanilla. The flavor and fragrance of vanilla develops during the curing and drying process.

Cooking Tip

Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Semisweet chocolate chips can be found in the baking department of most supermarkets. Chocolate chips come in a variety of styles including semisweet, milk, special dark, and white. Flavored drops similar to chocolate chips that can add flavor to baked goods such as brownies and cookies include flavors such as cinnamon, mint, peanut butter maple, coffee and cappuccino.
