'''Vanilla''' is an exotic flavoring agent that is derived from the bean of the [[Vanilla Orchid]]. The bean is dried in the sun for a long period of time, allowing it to develop an exotic flavor. The chemical [[vanillin]] in the beans is what gives the vanilla it's flavor. Natural vanilla extract is made from vanilla beans, while artificial vanilla extract is is made from [[vanillin]] extracted in trace amounts from wood, resulting in a cheaper and less potent product. Vanilla extract from Mexico should be used with caution, as health standards in Mexico allow vanilla extract to be cut with certain chemicals that contain [[carcinogens]].
