Whole vanilla beans are much more fragrant and brilliant tasting than extracts and they are much more lovely to look at than the wood pulp you will find many companies use to make artificial vanilla flavor. Vanilla is nearly as expensive and labor intensive as saffron per pound, but despite this, the demand for real vanilla keeps farmers and their families in business.
Everyone knows what a vanilla bean tastes like and smells like. Vanilla planifolia, the plant from which we derive many different types of vanilla including Indonesian, is known for its robust flavors and delicious depth. The orchid that gives us vanilla is difficult to grow, and even more difficult to pollinate, making vanilla a flavor we really have to work for as human beings.
