Did You Know?
Did you know that Vanilla Beans come from gorgeous orchid flowers?
Growing vanilla beans is truly labor intensive! Every orchid must be hand pollinated by farm workers who carefully transfer the pollen from the anther to the stigma of the flower. The vanilla flower has a very short life span, and only blooms for less than a day. This means that the growers have to inspect their plantations daily for open flowers to pollinate.
6-9 months after pollination, the long green pods begin to turn yellow at their tips which means that they are ready to harvest. The beans are picked and then cured for 3-6 months on drying racks in the sun and in special conditioning rooms. During this time, they develop the dark color, rich aroma, and delicious flavor that we all know and love.
