minus-squareBlyfhlinkfedilink1•edit-29 months 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@FiniteLooper@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoNope, vanilla beans are a thing. Maybe you’re thinking of cinnamon, that comes from the bark
minus-squareBlyfhlinkfedilink1•9 months 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@FiniteLooper@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months 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
