It takes at least 2 to 3 years for vanilla to be harvested, and the grown vanilla pods are green and odorless, and must be fermented and dried for at least 6 months before they can become black, dry, flat but fragrant vanilla pods.
Vanilla pods are the seed pods of the orchid plant vanilla. Due to the special flower structure of vanilla, the natural pollination rate is only about 1%, and each flower will only bloom at a specific time on a specific day of the flowering season. If the pollination is completed within a specific time period of the day, the vanilla pods cannot be produced. Therefore, a large amount of manpower must be used in a short period of time to complete the artificial pollination of each plant in order to successfully produce pods.
The grown vanilla pods are green and odorless, and must be processed through fermentation and drying to have a fragrance. After the green vanilla pods are harvested, they will be boiled in hot water first, then fermented in a pot or box, and dried in the sun during the day. This process will take at least 6 months until the vanilla pods are fully grown. Dry until it becomes a common black dry flat shape. Therefore, the production of vanilla must rely on a lot of manpower and time.
