12 Large Vanilla Beans For Making Vanilla Extract Grade A - NON-GMO Planifolia Type Bulk, 6-8 Inches Grade A+

Las vainas de vainilla son dolorosísimas, huelen delicioso. Se pueden emplear para preparar alimentos, como para fragancias. Me gusta que la compañía envía el producto empaquetado al vacío. Así conservan su fragancia para cuando se vayan a emplear.

These vanilla beans are fantastic! Not dried out. Nice and leathery. Popped them in some vodka for extract. They smell amazing!

Great vanilla bean fresh and delicious good price

A good product, arrived a nice secure packaging to keep the beans fresh. And I’m making vanilla extract with them right now.

TL/DR - you need more than a couple beans in a jar of alcohol if you’re making vanilla extract These are amazing Indonesian beans, especially for the price. These beans aren’t as big as other varieties, but it is what you should expect for an Indonesian bean. They mostly have a very good amount of caviar in them. I can see if someone doesn’t actually know what to expect from a vanilla bean they would think they aren’t plump, but if you have any doubts go by a bean from your local grocery store. If your store in vodka, you will have an easier time getting all the seeds (aka caviar) out. They are very fresh and pliable (as they should be) and have a great scent. If you think they smell weird, lightly rub on your inner wrist and smell 15 minutes later (so the scent isn’t so concentrated). A lot of the pictures of “mold” on here isn’t actually mold, it is vanillin (the compound that gives the flavor you all know and love as vanilla). I ordered a few packages of these, and the average was about 1.3 ounces for the 11 beans (because weight is was matters when making vanilla extract - 1 ounce beans per 8 oz vodka/rum/etc). The smallest was just over one ounce and the largest was 2.1 ounces. If you are buying these for vanilla extract, just understand that putting a bean or two in a jar of vodka isn’t going to taste good. And it is not because there is something wrong with the beans. FDA regulations for vanilla extract is 13.xx ounces per gallon, which is about .85 ounces per cup (I round up to 1 ounce). If you are just using the beans for the caviar, don’t! Throw the pod in some alcohol to make extract, add it to sugar to make vanilla sugar, or grind it up to make vanilla powder. The pod is where all the real flavor is
