26 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans Extract Exclusive Grade B| 4.5" - 5.5" by FITNCLEAN VANILLA| Certified USDA Organic. Bulk Dry Whole Bourbon NON-GMO Pods

These are the best. Perfect for home made vanilla and many other delicious creations. I re-purchased these to be used in making vanilla sugar. I have also used in creating flavored butters and I have my own vanilla bean paste which is great added in a wide variety of dishes. These vanilla beans are so flavorful and they smell great. I have used whole or split open and scraped out the deliciousness depending on my intended use. These are fresh and have a great texture. Making your own products is so much better than store-bought when using these premium vanilla beans.

I finally decided that it was time to make my own vanilla extract. I was no longer comfortable paying what the grocery store was charging. So, I bought a bottle of my husband’s favorite ‘cheap’ whiskey, added half the package of beans to it, recapped the bottle and stuck it in the back of my cabinet. After 8 weeks, I pulled it out to take a look. The color of the liquid had significantly changed and the smell was amazing! What I Loved: Amazing fragrance: The instant you break the seal on the package you are hit with the sweet buttery vanilla aroma. Moist & Pliable pods: The beans are soft and packed with caviar – exactly what you want when making extract. Balance of quality vs. value: Organic, non-GMO packaging, plump beans – perfect for anyone serious about real vanilla. I used it in some pancake batter at the eight-week mark and it was just as good as the store bought. I decided to leave the beans in the bottle and just see how much better it can get. This means that for less than $40 usd I have just under 60 ounces if vanilla extract that will continue to get better over time. And I still have about 12 beans to use for other purposes. (Be sure to appropriately seal and store any left overs.) This means it cost me under $0.70 usd per ounce from organic Madagascar beans and whiskey from a manufacturer I trust. The cheapest I can currently find as of today for similar is $4.50 usd per ounce. Things to remember: Vanilla Beans are from a plant. No two beans are alike. The bean size and plumpness will vary. Be attentive to the grade of beans you purchase. These are Grade B beans, some will be slim or even split – That is normal. Takeaways: Whether you are crafting homemade extract, making an infusion, vanilla sugar, or enhancing the flavor of a dish, these beans are stellar! Plus, they are organic, vacuum-sealed for freshness and – dare I say – add a little luxe to your pantry without breaking the bank. If you are looking for authentic, quality beans, these deliver in spades.

These are GREAT vanilla beans! They came sealed and vacuumed to ensure the quality and freshness - they smelled amazing, were moist enough to work with and not super dehydrated. I was able to slice them down the middle easily for my homemade vanilla extract. I will definitely be ordering these again when it comes time to make more vanilla extract! (I posted a photo of 4 of them split and submerged in 80 proof vodka after 1 week soaking.)

This is the fourth year of making my own vanilla extract. The first time I used vodka, then brandy, then rum. I like both the aroma best with brandy or rum, stopped using vodka. It makes a nice color, wonderful extract. Is perfect with baking projects. Did a picture, larger bottle just started, other one last ou last year's brew. Yum!

Good product for price but very small beans compared to other quality suppliers. It would be nice if they would disclose how many ounces are in a package so that customers could purchase the correct quantity of beans needed per fluid ounce of alcohol.

Wonderful vanilla beans!!! Love to make my vanilla extract and bake using these beans. The quality is great...fresh and moist. Not like some beans that are dried out! Will purchase again!

Used all of them for making vanilla. Very resh when the bag was opened. 2 months ago I split the beans and put them all in a 32 oz bottle with Vodka to cover them. The liquid is already brown and smells more like vanilla than Vodka. Looking forward to baking with it this Fall.

Very good quality. Fresh and perfect for making Vanilla

Muy buena calidad de vaina

Business ship to Australia, The beans were juicy and thick. Beans had the most amazing smell coming out of the packing box! Will be purchasing again in future.

Excellent for home made vanilla extract. Great aroma and flavour. Split and add to a sealable jar of vodka and wait (6m to 1 year)

First time buying vanilla beans, so I am not entirely sure what to expect, but these seemed perfect for my homemade vanilla extract. I got a 12 pack of Amber Bottles and had enough beans to fill all. There was not 26 beans in the package I received, there was 29- a nice surprise! They were moist, and smelled delicious! They aren't huge, though accurate size in description. Paring knife for scale in image.

Excellent quality for making extract. Very fresh, with good moisture content. Beautiful aroma
