Vanilla planifolia is an herbaceous climbing orchid and a tropical commercial spice crop. This exotic orchid, the beans of which on processing yields the popular, commercial flavouring agent "vanillin" which rules the world of edible flavours. Vanillin has been used in flavouring cakes, chocolate and some beverages. In addition, it serves also as the main component in cosmetics and perfume industry.
