为什么香草变得更贵?
我们爱他们,价格上涨:首先它是鳄梨,现在似乎烘焙的一个重要成分可能面临同样的命运。您是否注意到杂货店的纯香草精的价格有所上涨?香草的市场价格大幅上涨:2015年,一公斤香草豆价格为100美元;目前那公斤高达600美元.
由于香草是世界上第二大劳动密集型食品(藏红花之后),因此成本高昂是可以理解的。收获香草豆荚是手工完成的,收获,采摘,浸泡,包裹和加温的过程需要几个月的时间。这种强烈的工艺和高成本长期以来使合成香草对寻求其食品的香草味的公司具有吸引力。最近,随着消费者对天然香料的关注度越来越高,随着越来越多的食品公司采购真正的香草而不是合成香草,对香草的需求也在增加 – 需求增加意味着价格上涨.

除此之外还有供应有限的事实:香草种植的地方数量很少。印度洋上的马达加斯加岛是世界上最大的生产国,印度尼西亚紧随其后。此外,今年早些时候,马达加斯加在旋风中失去了三分之一的香草作物。这导致了暂时的香草短缺.

有一个好消息:自飓风以来,马达加斯加的许多香草种植园已开始重建和扩建,因此价格不应保持在目前的高位。虽然从这些新植物中收获任何香草需要几年时间,所以要准备好为优质香草付出更多钱,直到那时.
这个假日烘焙季节,你会在饼干中使用更少的香草,因为它的价格更高吗?不知怎的,我们不这么认为.

It is no surprise that the price of vanilla has skyrocketed in recent years. As the second most labor-intensive food after saffron, the high cost of vanilla is understandable. The process of harvesting, picking, soaking, wrapping, and heating vanilla pods is done by hand and takes several months. This intensive process and high cost have made synthetic vanilla attractive to companies seeking its flavor in their food products. However, with the increasing demand for natural flavors, more and more food companies are purchasing real vanilla, leading to a rise in demand and price. Additionally, the limited supply of vanilla due to its cultivation in only a few places, such as Madagascar and Indonesia, has also contributed to the price increase. While the recent cyclone in Madagascar has caused a temporary shortage of vanilla, the rebuilding and expansion of vanilla plantations may lead to a decrease in price in the future. Until then, consumers may have to pay more for high-quality vanilla.
