Vanilla planifolia is a plant in the orchid family (Orchidaceae) native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. Its fruits are elongated, narrow and dark strands called vanilla leaves.

Vanilla sugar
During the fermentation and drying process, vanilla produces vanillin, which gives it its characteristic flavor and aroma. Unfortunately, its production is very limited, as it only accounts for about 1.2% of vanilla juice. Consequently, cheaper vanilla substitutes can be found on the market, such as eugenol, lignin and lingosulfonic acids. These include vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) and ethylwaniline (3-etoxy-4- hydroxybenzaldehyde). Their organoleptic properties are weaker than real vanilla, but their production is too cost-effective.
