Vanilla is the fruit in the form of pods. In ground form they are white. Vanilla to this day is one of the most expensive spices. This prompted the creation of an artificial substitute - vanillin.

Cinnamon is the bark of a cinnamon tree. It is used in ground form. The additive has a light brown color, sweetish and slightly burning taste. Cinnamon is often used in spins and marinades. It also has antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.
Zest is a peel of citrus fruits (lemon, mandarin, orange). The most popular is lemon peel. Thinly cut peel without a white layer. It gives the dishes a sweet - sour taste without bitterness. The zest belongs to the soft spices, so it can be used in large quantities during cooking.
