Use:

Vanilla grains: The quintessence of aromas are located inside the pod, these are the grains ..

• Fell there in two with a knife or the blade of a chisel that is introduced in the pod and that we go up over the entire length of the pod to open it.
• Use your finger rather than a knife to extract all the vanilla grains. The knife is likely to take a few fibers of the pod bringing a little bitterness.
• The hollowed out pod can also be used for infusion or vanilla sugar.
• The pod can also be dried in the open air and then be crushed to be used in powder.

Conservation:

The best way to keep a vanilla is to keep it under vacuum in their original setting.

• After opening, keep your pods in a white iron box. Surround your pods with parchment paper and place them in your box. This should not see the light. The ideal humidity is 60-70%. Although aesthetics, glass tubes are to be avoided.
• If your vanilla came to dry, don't be worried. Certainly it will be more difficult to open and extract the grains of vanilla but it develops pretty aromas in this form too!

Kitchen:

Vanilla will be expressed completely in infusion in milk, cream, fluted, English creams, flanks, ice creams, yogurts. It also works very well with fish and vegetables!
