What's with the Braille-like dots at the bottom of the pods? Anyone care to explain?
It's probably the farmer putting some form of branding on them in case they get stolen

Next to saffron and cardamom, vanilla is the world’s next most expensive spice. Growers are known to “brand” their beans with pin pricks before they can be harvested, to identify the owner and prevent theft. From: http://www.cookiesitalian.com/page/1021420

That is money hanging off that vine - farmers tattoo them to deter theft.
The CFP franc (called the franc in everyday use) is the currency used in the French overseas collectivities (collectivités d’outre-mer, or COM) of French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna. The initials CFP originally stood for Colonies Françaises du Pacifique (“French colonies of the Pacific”). This was later changed to Communauté Financière du Pacifique (“Pacific Financial Community”) and then to the present term, Change Franc Pacifique (“Pacific Franc Exchange”). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFP_franc
Comptoirs Français du Pacifique (CFP) is a currency - just my guess

looks like a dildo, im sorry, my mind is in the gutter, but they do!
Beautiful! Vanilla is my favorite! It would be helpful to indicate where the plants are grown..does the USA import most of these plants besides peanuts and cranberries? Thanks!
Saffron
And that's why saffron is so scary expensive. There are only two stamens per crocus, and they have to be carefully harvested by hand, one at a time.
Kiwi

Cinnamon
Pomegranate
Banana
Wasabi
Black Pepper
Quinoa
Avocado
Oh, they grow on trees. I don't know why, but I always assumed they grew near the ground like strawberries. The more you know.
Asparagus
Mango
Dragon Fruit
Dates
Persimmon

The little green flower buds are the capers. The small unripe fruits are eaten too. In Dutch they are called 'caper-apples'.

Throw back childhood. It's like sit on library and read an ensyclopedia or walk with my friend into a garden then climb the tree pick the fruit and eat them wow i'm miss my childhood
Peanut : its not the flower. That is actually a grass which is planted in a palm oil field. Sorry. I can't helped it but comment. Wrong fact.
Peanuts do bear flowers as seen in the picture before they form the seed underground.

Clickbait much! It's not really surprising to those who have seen it before (and I've seen quite a lot before).
