"Just Plain Vanilla" ... the most popular flavour in the world produced by the seeds of the only edible fruit-bearing member of the orchid family, pollinated by the Melipona - a Mexican bee which is the only insect that evolved to pollinate the vanilla orchid flower, which only blossoms for a single day before dying, making it the second most expensive spice in the world.  Some food for thought the next time you ask for "just plain vanilla".

Use whole vanilla beans as a direct replacement for vanilla extract or vanilla bean past. 1 whole vanilla bean equals approximately 2 teaspoons of extract.

To open a whole vanilla bean; use a VERY sharp paring knife to slice the bean lengthwise, then, using a spoon or knife scrape the seeds from inside the pod. Add the seeds to your recipe as desired.

Save the vanilla bean pod, as it can be used to flavour many things - such as sugar for your coffee.

Approximately 24 beans.
