Vanilla Beans - Bourbon And Tahitian Varieties | Rich Aroma, Organic Flavor Enhancer, Ideal For Culinary Applications

we are the popular exporter, supplier and trader of Vanilla beans in Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Vanilla beans - those pricey, fragrant, dried seedpods that offer no easy clue about how to use them - are native to tropical America. There are over 150 varieties of vanilla orchids (there are 27 varieties in South Florida alone), but only two species are used commercially to flavor and fragrance foods and beverages-- Bourbon and Tahitian.

Bourbon beans are botanically known as Vanilla planifolia or Vanilla fragrans and originally came from the Gulf Coast of Mexico. When grown in Mexico they're called Mexican beans. On the other hand, beans from the same plant stock are called Bourbon beans if they grow in Madagascar, Indonesia, and many other regions. The big exception is the beans from Tahiti. Even though Tahitian vanilla is now considered its own species, the original plant stock also came from Mexico.
