To use Tahitensis vanilla pods, cut them lengthwise and scrape out the flavorful pulp with the tip of a knife. This rich vanilla pulp can be used to enhance delicate vanilla dishes.
Afterward, you can place the empty pods in a jar with sugar or salt for a few weeks to create vanilla-infused sugar or salt.

Tahitensis Vanilla pods are perfect for making vanilla ice cream. One pod is sufficient for up to 2 kg of ice cream.
You can also use these fruity pods to create cold fruit spreads, compotes, or quark dishes.
