Bourbon vanilla pods, from Madagascar, approx. 15 pods, 50 g

The intense aroma of Bourbon vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) enhances desserts such as pudding, ice cream, pastries, crème brûlée, and vanilla sauce. The queen of spices also enhances sweet drinks and exotic sauces for meat and fish. The number of pods can vary greatly, as it is a natural product and the stalks are thicker or thinner depending on the harvest. However, they are always 50g, and not only the seeds impart flavor; the whole pod or the husk can also be used for vanilla sugar or in creams.
