Vanilla Bean
Vanilla is the world's second most expensive spice, and it's still the world's most popular flavor for ice cream.
Different beans have different tastes:
- Madagascar: Mellow and creamy; often referred to as "bourbon" vanilla beans because they're grown on the Bourbon Islands
- Mexico: Mild and smooth
- Tahiti: More aromatic, musky and sweet
- Indonesia: Smokier and sharper
