Vanilla: Beyond Flavour to Health Benefits

Before we delve into the health benefits of vanilla, we thought a quick history lesson was in order.

The Tale of Vanilla

The allure of vanilla reaches far beyond its iconic flavour and aroma. Originating from the tropical regions of Mexico, the Totonac people were the first to cultivate vanilla. They cherished its enticing scent and reserved its use for royal and ceremonial purposes.

It wasn't until the 16th century when Spanish conquistadors brought vanilla to Europe that its fame began to spread. However, it wasn't just its flavour that captivated the Europeans; they sought to cultivate it themselves, only to realise that the orchid thrived only in its native land, with the Totonac people possessing the secret of its hand pollination.
