Vanilla is grown in Mexico, The Caribbean, Madagascar, The Cormoro Islands, Indonesia and Tahiti along with smaller islands. (Like a belt near the Equator)

They say Mexico is the birthplace of vanilla, and if you venture into any of the border towns every one of them seems to have it for sale at huge savings compared to Canadian or US prices.

Indonesia produces the most vanilla, followed by Madagascar. China and Mexico are huge producers of vanilla. The United States is not one of the top producers.

what is the difference between pure vanilla extract and artificial vanilla extract?

Pure Vanilla Extract is a flavouring derived from an orchid in the genus Vanilla native to Mexico, the only edible fruit of the orchid family, which is the largest family of flowering plants in the world. Vanilla Extract is produced by drying and curing the green bean pods from the Vanilla plants. The majority of the world's vanilla today is produced in Madagascar, while other tropical countries including Indonesia, India, Mexico, and many others produce smaller quantities. Because vanilla is a vine and requires a support to grow on (such as trees) and at least 50% shade, it's production is generally sustainable and helps preserve tropical forests and biodiversity.Synthetic vanilla, on the other hand, is an artificial product made from guaiacol, a coal tar derivative through a chemical process. Caramel colors are used to mask the unpleasant aroma and therefore it appears black in color. Since it is a coal tar derivative, it is generally considered unhealthy for human consumption.Over 250 components contribute to the flavor profile of vanilla, yet only vanillin is imitated. Natural vanillin is present in vanilla beans at 2% by weight. A cheaper artificial form (USP vanillin) can be synthesized from guaiacol, a coal tar derivative; or produced from lignin, a byproduct of the paper industry.
