1/2 LB Vanilla Beans Grade A - Whole Gourmet Pods for Homemade Vanilla Extract, Baking, Brewing, Cooking, and Desserts - 8 Ounces (Tahitian)

I've been making my own vanilla extract for about 7 years, and these are the best beans I've ever gotten. They were fresh, had NO mold (which I've had happen in the past), were full of bean paste, and were wonderfully fragrant. They were so perfect, in fact, that I almost hesitated to use them for extract and kept them to bake with instead. I went ahead as planned, and suspect this may be my best batch of extract to date.

Well packaged.

I use these beans to make my vanilla extract. Great beans and great price.

First off I use these and vodka to make vanilla extract. I use a 1.75 liter bottle of decent vodka made in Texas "T....s"I use 30-40 sticks of vanilla. These were rated grade 'a' which means they should be plumper then grade 'b'Having purchased around 100 sticks a year for the last 6 years I have had a lot of experience with sticks. 8 sticks were full plump good texture good fragrance. I cut a small piece off each one and split them down the middle> I then drop the split sticks into the vodka and let soak in the refrigerator for 2 months. I pull the bottle out every day and gently shake it a bit.The ten little pieces cut off the beans I chew on to get an idea of the flavor of each stick. All ten peices had a decent/good flavor.So taste wise these were all "a" grade.Fragrance wise these were all "a" grade.None had an signs of mold.8 were nice and plump2 were a little dry.price was very good.All in all about a 4.5 star rating for this package.or 9 of 10 if it were a 10 star system.Most important all tasted good. So they will make a good vanilla extract.

I have ordered vanilla beans from various vendors and have to say that this one is in the top 3 of all them all. They came fresh, moist, and vacuum sealed. Only complaint is that they were a little more expensive than the others and the quality was slightly less. I would order them again however since none of them were moldy. I have had that happen too many times from other vendors. I would rather pay a little more and have good quality vanilla beans that I can use versus paying less and having to throw some of them away.

I’m sooo happy with my purchase.Quality was excellent...I made vanilla extract with it and couldn’t be happier.My friends were so excited and happy with the vanilla extract I gave them.I will definitely order more and will make mire batches for myself and friends and relatives.Thank you the the great packaging so the vanilla was so fresh.Five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️😁

Nice plump, fresh beans. I tried the grade B Tahitian beans from this brand first, which were amazing. The Grade A are even better than I expected. After trying three different brands, these are my favorite!

Great quality, shower shipment than I would have liked. But I would buy again from this vendor.
