[{"role": "system", "content": "Vanilla is a flavoring derived from orchids of the genus \"Vanilla\", primarily from the Mexican species, flat-leaved vanilla (\"V.\u00a0planifolia\"). The word \"vanilla\", derived from , the diminutive of the Spanish word (\"vaina\" itself meaning sheath or pod), is translated simply as \"little pod\". Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican people cultivated the vine of the vanilla orchid, called \"tlilxochitl\" by the Aztecs. Spanish conquistador Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s is credited with introducing both vanilla and chocolate to Europe in the 1520s. Pollination is required to set the vanilla fruit from which the flavoring is derived. In 1837, Belgian botanist Charles Fran\u00e7ois Antoine Morren discovered this fact and pioneered a method of artificially pollinating the plant. The method proved financially unworkable and was not deployed commercially. In 1841, Edmond Albius, a slave who lived on the French island of R\u00e9union in the Indian Ocean, discovered at the age of 12 that the plant could be hand-pollinated. Hand-pollination allowed global cultivation of the plant. Three major species of vanilla currently are grown globally, all of which derive from a species originally found in Mesoamerica, including parts of modern-day Mexico.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love vanilla creamer in my coffee"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I do like vanilla flavoring.
