Vanilla first left Mexico in the early 1500s on ships bound for Spain. It was originally believed only to have value as a perfume. It wasn't until Cortes arrived in 1519 that the Spaniards learned it was also a flavour.

# The Totonaca people of the Gulf coast of Mexico were probably the first people to cultivate vanilla. They taught many other indigenous people how to grow vanilla during Meso-American times, and they continue to cultivate the fruit that they consider was given to them by the gods.

The Aztecs called vanilla tlilxochitl, and they used it with chilli peppers to flavor their drinks. The Spaniards likened the bean pods to a little sheath or vaina, which is derived from the Latin word "va**na" - yes that's right ...a Latin word
