Vanilla beans from Madagascar

Scientific name: Vanilla planifolia

Family: Orchideaceae

Origin: Madagascar

A few introductions are needed for this product.
The pods are produced directly by some of my collaborators, so they are of controlled origin and respecting the local communities.
My interest is not the size, as it is a battle to have the larger size, but this entails numerous problems for growers, with a lot of waste, and in the end the quality of the product does not change, same percentage of vanillin on small pod or pod great.
Each pod is about 2 – 3 gr, with an approximate length of 14-15 cm.
So, 30 pieces will be approximately 100 grams.

In the video below you will see the areas where vanilla is grown and processed.
