Vanilla beans are a premium, aromatic ingredient that brings a deep, natural sweetness and complexity to both sweet and savory dishes. To use them, slice the bean lengthwise and scrape out the tiny, fragrant seeds inside, which contain the full vanilla flavor. The seeds can be added to desserts like ice cream, custards, cakes, or cookies, or even to savory dishes like sauces and marinades for a unique twist. You can also steep the whole vanilla pod in liquids such as milk, cream, or syrups to infuse them with a rich, vanilla essence. After using the seeds, don’t throw away the pod—it can be dried and reused to make homemade vanilla extract or be added to sugar to create vanilla-scented sugar.
