OUR PRICE: ONLY R5 PER VANILLA POD!
Vanilla pods – The seed pod of the tropical climbing orchid plant, delightfully aromatic and an essential item in any serious “foodies” kitchen. This wonderful black bean literally lasts for years.
VANILLA POD STORAGE: Keep your vanilla pods in your sugar – they will flavour the sugar, which can then be used for cooking, baking, tea and coffee. They can also be kept in your coffee – creating French Vanilla Coffee, in your flour or in an airtight container.
VANILLA POD FLAVOUR : Both the pod and the inner seeds contain flavour, to release the seeds: use a sharp knife to slit the pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds. The pod actually contains more flavour than the seeds so never discard the pod after use, it can be ground up to flavour puddings and biscuits or stored in your sugar.
RE-USE: When using your vanilla pod to flavour cream or milk dishes place the pod and seeds into the saucepan while simmering, then remove the pod and rinse and either store back in your sugar or allow to dry slightly and store in an airtight container.
