香草 (Vanilla) is a popular flavor derived from the pods of the vanilla orchid, primarily Vanilla planifolia. It is widely used in cooking, baking, and the production of ice cream and desserts. The flavor is known for its sweet and creamy profile, making it a favorite in many cuisines around the world. The cultivation of 香草 is labor-intensive, as the flowers must be hand-pollinated. After harvesting, the pods undergo a curing process to develop their rich flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, 香草 is also used in perfumes and aromatherapy for its pleasant scent.
