Imitators are everywhere. But no amount of artificial flavors, sugar or preservatives can help these cheap substitutes match the taste or experience of using pure, organic Madagascar vanilla in your kitchen.
Pure Vanilla
Pure vanilla comes from the beans (or pods) of Vanilla planifolia, an orchid that grows in tropical climates. Flowers are carefully pollinated and each bean is harvested by hand. Once picked, they take up to 9 months to cure, sweat, dry and mature.
Imitation Vanilla
Imitation vanilla is created in a lab — often from paper manufacturing waste streams or petrochemicals — to create a synthetic vanilla flavor, fast and cheap.
