Did you know that vanilla beans are the only fruit-bearing orchids?

After spending 9 months on the vine, these are harvested by hand and then cured to develop their distinct aroma and taste. These precious beans are touched 700 times in total, which emphasizes the care we put into each bean. They then transform into the rich, aromatic vanilla we all love.

Vanilla beans truly represent a labor of love, but their unique flavor is worth the wait. 🌱🍨💛
