vanilla pod

Vanilla is generally sold in pod format, which usually comes from Africa, after a long manufacturing process. The best quality vanilla pods are undoubtedly recognizable starting from their dark brown colour, and have particularly antiseptic and above all aphrodisiac nutritional properties. Vanilla is an ingredient that can never be missing in the preparation of special desserts or, in the ethnic cuisine of Asian countries, even in the preparation of some meat-based second courses.
