Protected from light and heat to avoid drying out and loss of aromas. It is better to store them in a cupboard,

What is the shelf life of vanilla, does it expire?
As long as there is no mold, we can keep it. It may just lose its aroma over time. Vanilla is not a perishable product, however we recommend consuming it within two years so that it retains its suppleness and its aromas.
Is my vanilla still good?
Twist the vanilla, if it is soft, it is still good. If it breaks or refuses to fold, it is not really fresh anymore and would not give the same result as fresh vanilla. But that does not mean that it can no longer be used.
What to do with my used vanilla pods?

In the sugar to delicately flavor it: natural vanilla sugar!

What is the difference between chocolate and cocoa bean?
These products come from the same Theobroma cacao or cocoa tree or cocoa tree.

The beans are naturally dried in the sun after poding. In addition, raw cocoa contains no added fat. no sugar, unlike classic chocolate. In addition, raw cocoa is a wonder for the health .
