expresses-tradition

Expresses tradition names the place-based identity an ingredient carries in trade and cooking. Wikipedia notes that V. planifolia is "more commonly known as Bourbon vanilla (after the former name of Reunion, Ile Bourbon) or Madagascar vanilla," a naming tradition tied directly to where it is grown. This dimension groups ingredients that carry the same named regional identity.
