Description:
Vanilla planifolia is a species of vanilla orchid native to Mexico and Central America, known for being the primary source of natural vanilla flavoring. This endangered evergreen vine can grow up to 15-30 meters in the wild and requires a warm, humid tropical climate. It produces long, bean-like pods with aromatic seeds, and its cultivation involves hand-pollination and a curing process to develop its flavor.
