I had no idea vanilla and cacao grow well together. They certainly complement each other very well in foods, especially baked goods and candy, of course. I'm sniffin' my vanilla essential oil while watching this.

[@aminormaximum2446]

Well, an orchid is just a vine, and even though the nodes have little furry fingers that come out, I don't think that they root into anything destructively. They may, and maybe I will look that up. Either way, a cacao is a tree, so vines will grow there. They both come from tropical or equatorial regions with similar humidity. In reality, a few thousand years ago (or less) many of the plants that we grow together are from different parts of the world. Most decorative plants that you see in your neighborhood are invasive species!

[@plips71755]

The reason quality has gone down even though prices remain high is due to picking the beans before they are ready. The distal end of the bean should be at least well yellowed before picked - preferably the whole bean. The beans usually reach their maximum length within 45 days of pollination - the rest of the time is spent ripening. This is typically 8-9 months after pollination. Quality has suffered greatly with beans being picked way too green, not be cured in time tested traditional methods, and from pollinating too many flowers thus creating more beans but instead of long very straight plump beans - they are short, skinny, and curved. In addition, the plant is greatly affected by this over abundance bringing down the health and longevity of the plant. You have to remember in nature only 1% of the flowers are pollinated - and that’s only in Mexico where the only bee to be able to pollinate them is found. In Mexico, and in all other countries they must be hand pollinated and this is done by people typically making 1.50 +/- a day when there is work to be done.That’s why buying and supporting organic fair trade plantations that look out for workers and individual growers is so important as opposed to those who take advantage of these folks - making them and their children virtual slaves. Now this is their own farm, I don’t know if they are or will be selling commercially but it’s not a good practice period. I do understand that there can be splitting but those are so green - I also understand that the Tahiti variety is not prone to splitting. However in terms of picking vanilla beans - is like picking tomatoes 1/4 to 1/2 ripe - the flavor never reaches peak flavor even if they get red and soften. In the stores they use gases to speed ripening or to delay ripening. Until you get them home and then it’s all downhill. Think strawberries, peaches, etc that are picked well before max flavor. I find today many younger folks have never tasted truely wonderful just harvested, perfectly ripe fruit and veggies. Think corn - most people have never tasted the sweet tenderness without a hint of starch like the grocery store ears are. Sweet corn, just picked is so sweet and lacks starch to the point you almost don’t need to cook. My grandparents put the salted water on boiling, then walked to the garden, picked what we needed for dinner or lunch, dropped the ears in the boiling water. By the time they pulled the biscuits or hot rolls from the oven - they pulled the corn. Just long enough to get hot enough to melt homemade butter. Or pears - young folks think you are suppose to eat green and have never let them ripen to yellow for melt in your mouth sweetness. Now pears are a little different - they ripen from hard bitter green to yellow sweetness very well on the counter, same as for bananas. Even peaches will ripen pretty good if picked after they develop all their rosy color and are never subjected to cold. Once refrigerated, they go from hard to mealy and rot - certainly not sweet and juicy. After buying, use a brown paper sack to keep them out of the light and check each day to use. If you get lots of mealy ones - complain to the store and the CEO of the main headquarters. On the vanilla beans, it all comes down to greed driving this picking green and other bad habits while curing them. Thus we, as the final consumer, end up paying top dollar for products whether extract, ice cream, baked goods, or even perfume - but for less quality. We might be getting pure but it’s not always top quality. And I understand they are worried about weather, and theft. As it stands, many have to brand each bean to help prevent theft. When they go to the processor to sell - they know who goes with what and you have difficulty selling someone else’s brand as you have to show your permit. No permit, your beans are retained but like everything else....there are guys on the take who may let them through if they get a cut. It has become almost if not more dangerous than drugs based on prices of up to $600/kilo where just a few years ago it was $20/kilo. Poor little Madagascar, between hardwoods, gemstones, cocoa, and vanilla - we (other developed countries) have just about ruined the country. We have made some people extremely rich, but the poor remain ....poor. This is the top most complete book on vanilla growing, cuttings, diseases, harvest, curing, etc - you name it..Handbook of Vanilla Science and Technology, By Daphna Havkin-Frenkel, Faith C. Belanger. You may be able to buy a printed copy from Wiley-Blackwell (Wiley-Blackwell is the international scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons.

Unfortunately, as prices have risen, quality as declined due to the rush to get to the market and shoddy underhanded practices. www.cooksvanilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/chart.png Here is another website - The Vanilla Company /The Vanilla Queen - look up Learn, Blog, and Be Part of the change for information on the industry. Read About Us first ..Patricia Rain has probably made more presentations on the industry than anyone from orchid groups to the Smithsonian Museum including local, national, and international conferences - horticultural, agricultural and culinary. Click on her under About Us to see some of her accomplishments. Her website also tells you how to make your own extracts. vanillaqueen.com/vanilla-extract-recipe/ She also tells you the best way to store powders, pastes, and beans and lots more information on the flavors of the different types, along with recipes. They sell and if you want smaller quantities, gives you who they sell to. I like that they sell the major ones - Mexico, Madagascar, and Tahiti, Papau NG, Etc. Currently you can buy on their shop a pound of lovely Madagascar Bourbon beans for $320.00/lb. “There are approximately 120 beans per pound. Average length of beans is 6″- 8″. This is approx $2.66/ bean but the number of beans is based on their weight - You can buy a quart of the best vanilla for $99 - a lot cheaper than $15-20 for 2 ounces and you know it is pure vanilla. It never goes bad - just keep it in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed. If you buy vanilla and it doesn’t say 35% alcohol it isn’t pure vanilla as the law says it must be 35% alcohol. She sells everything vanilla and it is organic and fair traded.
