About this plant
The cured pods of Vanilla planifolia contain vanillin, produced from glucovanillin during the elaborate five-to-six month curing process. First cultivated by the Totonac people of Veracruz, who considered it sacred. The Aztecs called it tlilxochitl, black flower. Vanillin was first isolated in 1858 by Nicolas-Theodore Gobley. Introduced to Europe by Spanish Conquistadores around 1520.
