Vanilla is not only a dessert spice, but also a medicinal plant with high health benefits. Consuming this spice can have a positive effect on the digestive system due to its relaxing effects. Due to the content of phytoferomones, it is considered one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs. Its strong aroma stimulates the release of hormones responsible for well-being. It also increases libido. Vanilla stimulates the release of estrogen, which helps regulate menstruation and alleviate PMS-like symptoms such as pain, cramps, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, and depression.
Vanilla is a spice plant with a distinctively sweet smell and aroma. Used not only in the confectionery industry, but also in the perfume industry. It is also used in the manufacture of liqueurs and flavored chocolates. It comes in the form of oil, powder (ground vanilla), vanilla sugar, and sticks. Present in most cake recipes, vanilla sugar has become a common product with an extremely intense flavor. However, it is worth knowing that counterfeit products can often be found under the vanilla sugar name. It is a chemical fake with vanillin or ethylvanillin in its composition. Vanilla is considered an aphrodisiac and natural antidepressant. The ancient Aztecs used vanilla flowers to pay taxes. Today it is widespread and we can fully enjoy its wonderful aroma.
Next to saffron, vanilla is one of the most expensive spices in the world. How does it look like? Vanilla beans resemble long, thin pods. These are the fruits of the orchid species Vanilla planifolia (flat-leaved vanilla). It occurs wild in tropical forests of South and Central America. It extracts nutrients from dead tree trunks and branches. It has a strongly developed root system, the leaves are stiff and flat. Beautiful, large flowers with a sweet scent attract insects. The flowering period is from May to August. Vanilla blooms every two to three years and for only eight hours. Fruiting begins after three years. The green pods are harvested before they are fully ripe, naturally fermented and dried. As a result, they get a dark color and begin to smell intensely. Initially, Mexico was the monopoly in vanilla cultivation. When the manual pollination method was discovered, vanilla cultivation spread to other areas as well. Today, Madagascar is the largest producer of this spice.
