Dried vanilla fruits. Vanilla is a flavoring derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla, primarily from the Mexican species, flat-leaved vanilla (V. planifolia). The word vanilla, derived from the diminutive of the Spanish word vaina (vaina itself meaning sheath or pod), is translated simply as little pod.
Put simply, vanilla extract is a solution created with vanilla beans and alcohol. When submerged in alcohol, the vanilla beans (also known as pods) release vanillin, the major flavor compound found in vanilla.
