Best Answer

Vanilla is derived from orchids (making it the only fruit bearing member of the orchid family) of the genus Vanilla which was originally native to Mexico.

Vanilla planifola, Vanilla tahensis, and Vanilla pompona are the three major variants and are grown around the world in Madagascar, Reunion, etc (Bourbon Islands), Tahiti & other South Pacific Islands, and Central/South America, respectively.

Madagascar (Bourbon) vanilla beans are most commonly used for the vanilla extract you see at the grocers
