From grocery store vanilla beans? (for practicing orchid embryo culture)
According to the Wiki article on vanilla 'Vanilla - Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla) the pods are
"killed" by heat treatment as the first stage of processing after
harvesting.
Even if the seeds are obtained from pre-treated pods they are very
difficult to pollinate.
Vanilla pods can be smoked! Has anyone tried it?
