Great video for the vanilla lovers...as a Vanilla producer I would love to add what sort of taste and aroma that Ceylon Vanilla beans have. I know Sri Lanka is not famous for Vanilla due to lack of awareness.. but most customers said we got Strong earthy, sweets Vanilla aroma. Also, behind Vanilla you will notice Cocoa scent, hit of resins and dates. This is due to processing of Vanilla beans using traditional curing methods in high altitude climate conditions...if anyone interest

80 or 90 % of ''vanilla'' products you see in your local favourite supermarkt, do not contain any vanilla.

Why this channel isn't far more popular is honestly beyond me. Really high quality content here

This is the best video you've done on vanilla. From the video framing to overlays to speeded up scenes. Nice work!

Thank you for putting the time and effort into this video!

Your videos are subtly drawing me in, almost giving me the visuals of the flavors when you put them into words. Very helpful in choosing which beans I will use to make homemade vanilla extract! Thank you so much for these videos, subscribed!!

New subscriber, from your milk and vanilla bean episode. Looked at your other videos available, really like your content and variety. Will be checking out your library while looking forward to new content!

A friend of mine brought a few reject beans to the usa from her uncle's vanilla farm-the fragrance was soooo complex and definitely had some floral notes and lemme tell you- if i could grow just one, it would be that one, but im also a fragrance snob. most people think its inferior, but most people don't have the olfactory capacity to detect just how complex tahitensis is.

I’m a snob as well, but for flavor, and the best vanilla for baking, hands down, has to be Madagascar, but I agree that Tahitian has the best smell out of all the vanillas, and is a close second to Madagascar for me, but I prefer it in lighter desserts like ice cream, different types of custards (ie pana cotta, creme brûlée, etc), and frostings because baking with it, or using it with other flavors that can drown out it’s original flavor instead of letting it be the main flavor is just criminal. The other vanillas are good for specialty desserts, but in general Madagascar is great for baking and flavoring, and Tahitian is perfect for delicate desserts that let it be the star of the show.

This guy is really good at packing loads useful information into a sort cast. Thanks; I learned stuff.

You’re so handsome, dude! I really loved your delivery. Thanks for the cool video. Vanilla is so freakin delicious 🙌🏼

So was there any one bean you preferred overall? Oh, now I want to test them all! I make tinctures and taste that has very little bitterness is important because of other herbs I use, like ginger root and turmeric root. I loved this video by the way.

Here in the UK, vanilla beans are much cheaper if you buy them on Ebay and only cost around a £1 ($1.28) each if you buy in multiples.

I tasted the ones from Madagascar and the ones from Tahiti, not easy to form an opinion since the taste can change from one harvest to another, but the Tahitian is really impressive in terms of smell, in terms of taste it becomes more complicated to determine. I want to taste the Mexican, the original. Salutation

Part2 : That voice and on screen characterization is spot on for a DC Marvel Comics super villain, go and audition for a role and tell them I sent you! Keep it up its interesting!

I think the issue with this is that Madagascan Vanilla is described as "Classic" instead of making out what it actually taste like, which sets Madagascan as the Standard and measuring the others based on that. It would be better if you can come to it from a blank-slate state and just describe how you find everything. For me, Madagascan is more sweet and less pungent compared to other varieties. Indonesian is smoky and woody, and Tahitian is fruity and floraly, it's more that you taste it in your nose than in your tonge for Tahitians, Also, Mexican and Tahitian Vanilla is two competently different plants from the one in Madagascar. Ugandan and Indonesian Vanilla are usually the same type as Madagascan. Indonesia also have the Tahitian type of Vanilla. It would be better if you can compare type by type, if you're familiar with the type, it's Planifolia for the Classic Vanilla, Tahitensis for the Tahitian varieties, and Pompona for the Mexican varieties.

Damn, I was expecting you to cook up five slammin desserts!! lol. Still, a cool and informative video!

A couple of added details…. Cheap Mexican extracts are often adulterated with a different chemical. Coumarin which is actually a blood thinning drug Tahitian vanilla has less vanillin because it is actually a slightly different plant… a cross between two species. I happen to like it after a trip to Tahiti where they sold it in fresh produce markets

After Madagascar, Indonesia is one of the ten countries with the largest vanilla production in the world.according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 2019.

Bourbon refers to the manner the beans are cured ( steamed and dried) versus Mexican cure, which is sun dried.

Wow cool. Instant sub!

i like the floral and fruity flavours of tahitian vanilla but i find it hard to extract the flavours directly into my recipes' milk, especially compared to what some companies can do with more sophisticated extraction so i tend to use a high quality extract. even then with tahitian vanilla extracts, the vanillin flavour can still be lacking and using too much extract to compensate adds an alcoholic taste to the recipe; instead i can boost the "vanilla flavour" with some vanillin powder (pretty common in professional kitchens). its also really handy to have powder (or artificial extract) around when using vanilla in a way that would destroy its complexity or overpower it and save the good stuff for when it counts. it might sound a bit heretical to foodies but given how scarce and resource intensive vanilla can be i think being frugal and responsible as possible in using the real stuff is a good thing

5:16 the word you’re looking for is UMAMI YOU CLASSLESS DEGEN!!! /s

There is aktualley vanilla grown in france in la reunion

Basically French vanilla is the combination of vanilla and hazelnut

One other thing, the milk is a good choice but vanilla shines in a SWEET environment.

Can't compare since these are different varieties, Planifolia and Tahitensis, as well as different terroirs, among them some are volcanic soils, some aren't. It's also complet different refining methods leading to completely different results in matters of aromas and flavours since some will be fresh (still alive and continously bonifying with age), some will be frosted (full of crystallised Vanilline), and the standard ones will be just be dry like most of Planifolia in Madagascar, Uganda, Togo, Tanzania, Indonesia and PNG which are scalded (boiled), while in the Caribbean we scarify our vanilla beans, and in Polynesia they harvest the vanilla beans fully mature already on the vines. So It's like if you were trying to compare Saint-Emilion wine with "Baume de Venise" and "la veuve cliquot", No sense. Also milk tests won't extract all components and you lack the most interesting of vanilla complex flavours and aromas. French vanilla of course refers to vanilla beans from agroforestry culture in French territories, related terroirs and IGP: Planifolia from la Réunion, Mayotte, Seychelles, Mauritius, the Pompona and Planifolia vanilla from Guadeloupe, Martinique, New Caledonia, as well the Tahitensis from French Polynesia, Tahiti, Moorea, Taha'a, Huahine,.... Here are some more informations about the Fédération of French Vanilla conference-vanille.com/conference-2023/ which you can google translate. Also in French vanilla bean is named a "gousse" and not a bean, since in French a bean is a "haricot". And "Bourbon" is an old appelation which protect specific terroirs of vanilla beans, not necessarily French actually, namely Réunion, Mayotte, Mauritius, Comores, Seychelles and Madagascar, and one specific curing method which is to boil the green beans. This is what "Bourbon" vanilla means, and its origin comes from la Réunion Island which was named Bourbon island after the french royal family Bourbon and is where vanilla vines were first introduced, studied and its hand pollination with beans boiling processes created to cure big volume faster. And last but not least there is absolutely no comparison between bulk (or commodity) greenhouses-grown vanilla beans stored in warehouses, (one standardised monoculture of planifolia variety only that American market focus on and receive) and agroforestry vanilla beans (specialty Vanilla beans producing more than hundreds different varieties, sub-varieties and hybrids) which is what we, French, are looking for to cultivate, to cook and create culinary specialities with. Better refer to organic vanilla farmers themselves when you wish to learn everything about Vanilla Beans. And when it comes to cooking with vanilla, also better rely on a real professional chef(fe) who actually cook with vanilla beans. Sylvanilla is one you can rely on for certified varieties and origins of vanilla beans from agroforestry, as well as for actual vanilla related studies and publications. www.sylvanilla.ch

Just a suggestion, but make a "Creme Brulee'" out of all of them.

la mejor vainilla es la Mexicana.

7:18 Tahiti is part of France though.

It’s worth the price for 1 bean when making homemade vanilla ice cream.

What is it that makes you think everything is created in abundance? If something can only be grown in a few areas of the world, it would make sense that there would be a limited amount. I guess it depends on how you define abundance.

Beans and Mexican….. f yes and rice plus tacos

What kind of milk did you use? 2% which is a chemical shit-show with no milk actually existing. Whole milk which is milk. Cream which would have made the most sense since it has the highest percentage of fat.

Mexican is the classic vanilla flavor.

Of Mexican for me

The true reason vanilla beans are so expensive is greed. When severe weather damaged a large number of crops across the plaanet, prices skyrocketed. The crops have stabilized but the prices never returned to an equitable medium. One bean in a spice jar at the local wallyworld was priced at nearly $13. I did not give my rare cash for such an overpriced item. It just reminded of even the poorest wallyworld child is still among the 10 richest people. So, the point is, it is much more a shame those poor farmers are being taken. Especially by greed and arrogant consumers.
