What it is
Ground vanilla bean is made from the dried, cured seed pods of the vanilla orchid, native to Mexico and Central America. The beans are harvested, cured, and then ground into a powder or paste. This process develops the characteristic rich, sweet, and floral aroma and flavor.
Why it's used
Vanilla is one of the world's most popular flavors, added to foods for its sweet and aromatic qualities. It is commonly used in baked goods, dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, beverages, and confectionery. Vanilla enhances and complements other flavors, especially chocolate and fruit.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vanilla and its components. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
