vanilla bean
Dark aromatic pod
The vanilla bean is the seed pod of a tropical orchid, used as a flavoring.
The long, dark pods are split to reveal tiny seeds and scraped into custards, ice creams, and baked goods.
Vanilla beans provide richer, more complex flavor than vanilla extract: She added the seeds from two vanilla beans to the custard base.
