Excellent beans! Good moisture content, smell strong, and make great vanilla paste. I use a mix of these and Madagascar beans by the same company.

I got the 50 Tahitian Extract Grade B Natural Vanilla Beans 5~6" to make vanilla extract for the holiday season as the batch I had made a few years ago is starting to run dry. First these feel like quality beans, the bag they came in was sealed very well and kept most of the moisture in the beans and the seeds. The average bean was 6 inches long and required cutting to fill the little bottles I use. and overall they have a good texture and smell to them. very easy to use for making extract. will buy again.

This is an updated review for my most recent purchase, April 2025. I have been buying my extract grade vanilla beans from FitNClean for the last couple of years but Amazon was out of stock of that brand so I ordered these from Vanilla Products. They are definitely smaller and drier than those I got from the other company There were still 4oz of beans in the package, it just took several more beans to reach that weight. They've only been on vodka for 24 hours so I cannot tell yet if the extract will be as strong but I'll update this review if the extract isn't as good as I require for my candy. Okay, if this was February 2016 I'd be very angry about paying $23 for these tiny little beans but it is 2018 and vanilla is in the middle of a worldwide shortage. When many vendors are asking $10 for a single bean I cannot complain too loudly. To begin the beans are quite small, barely 4" long and skinny. The 10 of them in this packet weighed just over 0.5oz. Luckily I still had two normal size beans left from before the shortage or I wouldn't have enough for a batch of extract. Everything is not bad news, though, because the beans were by no means dry - they were quite moist and sticky with a wonderful flavor and aroma. I am confident these beans will, with my two older Madagascar beans, make a usable extract. If for some reason they don't I'll report back in a couple of months.

Purchased these a couple of times to make our own vanilla extract. Decent price and sufficient quantity to make a large batch of extract, at a fraction of the cost of store bought. Love the finished product!

They are long in size but thin in width they say they are not splittable but I didn’t have a problem. I will continue to buy them for what I need them for. The price for the quality is good for me and they are fresh smell beautiful they have tasted amazing in recipes.

I make homemade vanilla extract and these vanilla beans are great for it! I used all 25 in the vanilla extract container. Everyone says my desserts are delicious, and I really believe it's because of the homemade vanilla extract. You get the flecks of vanilla in your desserts, delicious! The beans were sealed tightly in a vacuum sealed package. They were fresh and ready to use. Grade B is great, too. You save a little money, but no one would know the difference. Highly recommend this brand.

I use this to make my own vanilla. Split and drop into a big ol bottle of vodka (or whatever your preference for vanilla). I am about 8 months into the bottle on the shelf and its starting to benefit my baking. Would recommend for anyone who wants to elevate your baking, drinks, or favorite.
