    Nope, vanilla beans are a thing.

    Maybe you’re thinking of cinnamon, that comes from the bark

      Right, I was thinking of cinnamon. But when I picture vanilla extract, I see this small dry and black stick that doesn’t even resemble a bean.

        Yeah they are weird beans, more like a pod I guess. But I think the ones you see used for food have been dried. I’m actually not sure what a fresh one looks like
