The secrets of vanilla

Vanilla is a product of Mexican origin that is exported all over the world. Today we discuss its benefits, characteristics, and advantages for use in the kitchen. Vanilla is native to Mexico; it is known that it was used by the pre-Columbian Aztecs to flavor chocolate and other alcoholic beverages. After the discovery of America, vanilla was exported to Spain by colonizers, along with cacao. Their idea was to create a fortune from the sale of these new ingredients, which were initially considered exotic and caused great passion. European pastry chefs from countries such as Spain, France, and Italy began to use vanilla to flavor cakes, ice creams, sweets, creams, and custards, thus giving a new flavor to their classic desserts. This highly valued product comes from a climbing plant of the same name that requires a tropical and humid climate to grow. Its various vitamins and minerals give it digestive, calming, and even aphrodisiac properties. Like everything today, this product already has several synthetic copies, so the vanilla and its essence that we can find are mostly treated in one way or another. The most recommended, as professional chefs do, is to use the actual vanilla pod or, failing that, pure essence. Some producers are concerned with delivering this product in its natural form, and Mamima Vanilla is one of them. What they sell is 100% Mexican vanilla, and they offer it in a completely natural extract and, of course, real pods. The recipes that can be made with Mamima are as varied as the flavor nuances of their vanilla. You can create anything from cookies to cakes, including red snapper Veracruz style. Its spectrum of texture and flavor is that broad, and trying it means for many tasting what vanilla truly tastes like for the first time.
