Considering what the price of real vanilla has done lately, I’m surprised someone has not run with this kind of idea before.

We certainly have the technology to produce the perfect conditions for top rate vanilla.

Oh, It has. There have been. Most notably in 1841, when Edmond Albius figured out how to pollinate it by hand.

They are always trying to find more effective way to grow vanilla and saffron.

95% percent of vanilla today is not from the vanilla plant. I wonder if people would even like the taste anymore.
