      Am I stupid or is the vanilla flavor extracted from the bark of the tree, not some beans? Do vanilla plants even have beans?

          Right, I was thinking of cinnamon. But when I picture vanilla extract, I see this small dry and black stick that doesn’t even resemble a bean.

            Yeah they are weird beans, more like a pod I guess. But I think the ones you see used for food have been dried. I’m actually not sure what a fresh one looks like
