To extract the seeds from the pod, place the pod on a board, flatten it with your fingers, and smooth it out with a thin, sharp knife. Then carefully cut it lengthwise (without cutting it in half), open it, and use the blade to scoop out the seed mass. The empty pod can then be dried and ground with sugar, or simply placed in a sugar bowl to absorb the vanilla aroma.
