About the plant
The spice vanilla or real vanilla is an orchid plant. The evergreen climbing plant, originally native to Mexico, South and Central America, is now grown in Madagascar, Reunion and the Comoros. The plant has green-yellowish flowers from whose seed pods the spice vanilla is extracted. It is only through careful fermentation of the pod that the dark color and fragrance of the vanilla pod we know are created. Vanilla was already used by the Aztecs to flavor cocoa. Today the spice is very popular in the kitchen, but also in naturopathy. Due to the good skin tolerance of its ingredients, the aromatic acids, it is used in many different ways in cosmetics. In aromatherapy, the fragrance enchants, which is also mentally relaxing
What does 5x (alc 75%) mean? The Vanilla is obtained via solvent extraction using alcohol (ethanol). ‘5x’ refers to the concentration of the product: It means that you need 5kg of Vanilla to get 1kg of extract. In order to allow the Vanilla to flow, another measure of alcohol(75%) is added at the end of the production process.
