The flavoring agent we know as vanilla comes from the dried fruit of a Mexican species of vanilla orchid. Also known as Flat-Leaved Vanilla and West Indian Vanilla, this climbing, vine-like plant naturally occurs in Central America and is commercially cultivated in Madagascar.
In addition to its culinary value, vanilla is widely used in perfumery and cosmetics because of its exotic and spicy aroma.
