Tahitian vanilla 10 pods (bulk)

Tahitian vanilla 10 vacuum-packed pods Tahitian vanilla is produced on the islands of Tahiti, in French Polynesia. Vanilla orchids are grown in shady, moist areas, and they are pollinated by hand. The hand pollination method contributes to the production of a more fleshy and aromatic pod. The pods are harvested by hand and then undergo a drying process that lasts several months to develop their flavor and aroma. Tahitian vanilla is distinguished from other vanillas by its unique aromatic profile. It is characterized by a floral, fruity and slightly spicy fragrance, with notes of caramel, plum, apricot and tropical fruits. The pods are more supple and fleshy than other varieties of vanilla, giving them a chewier texture and richer flavors. Tahitian vanilla is ideal for flavoring desserts, pastries, ice creams, hot drinks and sweet dishes. It can be used whole or as an extract. To use the whole vanilla pod, simply split it in half and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. The seeds and the pod can be added to the preparation. To use vanilla extract, just add a few drops to the preparation. Tahitian vanilla is a premium ingredient, so use it sparingly to take full advantage of its unique flavors.
