10 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans Whole Grade A Vanilla Pods for Vanilla Extract and BakingUSDA Organic

Immediately upon opening the package I could smell these vanilla beans; it’s divine! The flavor is strong and sweet

I use real vanilla a lot, mostly to make Caneles de Bordeaux, and some puddings, Panna Cotta and the likes. These are great! They are fresh, playable, easy to open, plump enough. The taste is superb. I usually mix my canele slurry, bring the milk to a boil with the sugar and vanilla beans and when all ingredients are mixed I pop it in the fridge for 1-2 days with the vanilla beans inside. I don’t take them out. Taste intensifies. Then bake the candles after at least 24 hrs in fridge. Got my Canale molds on A as well. I am using a 12 “well” non-stick coated heavy canale molds and it works great. Great product, great taste

Used these vanilla beans to make homemade extract, and they were awesome. Super fragrant right out of the package and felt really fresh and oily—not dry like some others I’ve tried. They were plump and easy to split, and the flavor is already coming through strong in the extract. Definitely a good pick if you're into baking or DIY extracts.

Nice beans. A little skinny but very good quality. Easy to cut and use for extract. I’m excited to see how they do in my Beluga Vodka from Russia. It’s such a smooth taste I’m sure it will make excellent extract! Good value for the beans.

Smells good. Feels safer when simmering because it's organic. I wish it were a bit cheaper, though.

I'm not a vanilla bean expert but I bake and cook desserts enough to know what works and what doesn't. These vanilla beans worked really well. Soft and pliable so they were easy to split and scrape. There was a lot of vanilla to scrape and it was very favorable. The beans are a longer length. I used them in a scone and roasted rhubarb and the flavor profile was excellent.

What can I say? They come tightly sealed so they are nice and fresh. The flavor is delicious. And they are so versatile in recipes. You can make flavored maple syrup, use them in baking, the list is endless. Much better than vanilla extract for things like custards or unbaked items.

The beans arrived so quickly, within 12 hours of ordering, they smelled great, and pkging was good. I'd repurchase again from this seller.
