Its foliage is evergreen and its flowers produce the vanilla pods, which take up to 8 to 9 months to reach complete maturity. After being processed, the pods become dry and take on a dark chocolate colour. Its sweet, smooth and warm aroma makes vanilla the perfect flavour for desserts such as custard, ice cream and pudding. Vanilla is a strong spice that is greatly appreciated. It is commercialised in three different forms: in pods, in powder or as an essence. It is best used in pods as its aroma stays intact longer. The vanilla pods from Saint Aubin are a rare and precious treat of our island.SUGARThe sugar cane was introduced in Mauritius by the Dutch at the beginning of the 18th century. Sugar cane cultivation has long been a pillar of the Mauritian economy and up till today, our island is still covered in sugar cane fields.
