Bourbon vanilla pods, from Madagascar, approx. 7 pods

The intense aroma of Bourbon vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) enriches desserts such as pudding, ice cream, pastries, creme brulee, and custard. The queen of spices also enhances sweet drinks and exotic sauces for meat and fish. The number of pods can vary considerably, as it is a natural product and the pods are thicker or thinner depending on the harvest. However, each pod contains 25g, and it`s not just the seeds that release the aroma; the whole pod or the shell can also be used to make vanilla sugar or in creams.
