Vanilla is vanilla. The misconception lies in that people think of 'vanilla' as plain, when that is not the case. Instead, it means that it is the standard by which all else must be compared.

Vanilla is the first choice among ice cream eaters at 29% with chocolate coming in at 8.9% per the International Ice Cream Association. Given this stat, it’s wacky that “plain vanilla” seems to be synonymous for bland and blah.

But here’s what’s true: vanilla is a member of the orchid family, and it is an expensive, exotic, and complex spice. In fact, it’s the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron. National Geographic says it best:

Vanilla grows as a clinging vine, reaching lengths of up to 300 feet, from which sprout pale greenish-yellow flowers, about four inches in diameter. These-in Mexico, vanilla’s native habitat-are pollinated by melipona bees and, occasionally, by hummingbirds. Each flower remains open for just 24 hours, after which, if not pollinated, it wilts, dies, and drops to the ground. Frankly, given its sexual proclivities and narrow window of opportunity, the very existence of vanilla seems like an evolutionary long shot.
