minus-squareBlyfhlinkfedilink1•edit-21 year agoAm I stupid or is the vanilla flavor extracted from the bark of the tree, not some beans? Do vanilla plants even have beans?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoNope, vanilla beans are a thing. Maybe you’re thinking of cinnamon, that comes from the bark
minus-squareBlyfhlinkfedilink1•1 year agoRight, I was thinking of cinnamon. But when I picture vanilla extract, I see this small dry and black stick that doesn’t even resemble a bean.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoYeah they are weird beans, more like a pod I guess. But I think the ones you see used for food have been dried. I’m actually not sure what a fresh one looks like
