most common ingredient when it comes to baking.
It comes in various forms such as vanilla beans,
extract, and paste. But there is another form of
vanilla that is equally important, and that is
vanilla seeds also known as vanilla caviar.
What is vanilla seeds? Simply put, vanilla seeds
are just what the name suggests, the seeds you
find inside the vanilla pods. They are the specks
you often find in foods such as pies, cakes and
cookies made with vanilla. To get them, you need
to split open the vanilla pod from the middle
and then scrap off the black-caviar-like seeds
with a knife. The main fragrance of vanilla lies
in these seeds so if you want the maximum
vanilla fragrance, you just need to use a little
scrapped of vanilla caviar in place of essence
or extract to get a better vanilla smell.

vanilla paste. You can also keep them in a sugar
jar to infuse the smell of the sugar. How to use
