Mexican vanilla
Spiced bean flavoring
Mexican vanilla is vanilla originating from Mexico, where the plant was first cultivated.
It typically has a smooth, creamy flavor with subtle spicy notes, prized in baking and desserts.
The term sometimes signals caution: Mexican vanilla products sold cheaply to tourists may contain coumarin, a potentially harmful substance banned in U.S. food production.
