VANILLA is a sweet aromatic orchid grown to about 12 feet high with clusters of fragrant flowers. It was named by the Swedish botanist, Olof Schwartz, "Vainilla" from the Spanish for "little sheath" and anglicized to "Vanilla". Vanilla is widely used for its flavor in baked goods and for its fragrance in soaps, lotions and candles. Its medicinal properties reduce stress and promote calmness and it is thought to be an aphrodisiac.
