50 Organic Grade A Madagascar Vanilla Beans

Great batch of vanilla beans. They arrived carefully packaged in a sealed, airtight container, ensuring freshness. The aroma is truly exquisite, with a rich, sweet vanilla scent that fills the room. I used these to make vanilla extract—using 50 beans, I was able to produce a substantial amount, sufficient to flavor multiple recipes (roughly 5-8 vanilla beans per cup of vodka, rum, or brandy). Overall, I am very impressed and will definitely purchase these again for their quality and aroma.

These vanilla beans are high quality and have a strong, rich aroma that works really well for homemade extracts and baking. The beans are moist, flexible, and easy to split open, which makes them simple to use in recipes like desserts, syrups, or infused sugar. The flavor they produce is deep and authentic, especially when used for vanilla extract, and a little goes a long way. The packaging keeps them fresh and prevents them from drying out too quickly. Overall, this is a great bulk option for anyone who regularly cooks or bakes with vanilla and wants a natural, high-quality ingredient for recipes.

They arrived with the package sealed. They are plump and moist and smell fantastic. I would definitely order more from them when I need them. I use them for vanilla extract and paste.

This 50 count (4oz.) organic grade A Madagascar Vanilla Beans are a great quality. The beans are vacuum sealed it kept the beans plump and moist. I used them to make vanilla bean paste. The paste tastes great. Great value I will purchase again.

Beautiful, aromatic, moist & oily pods! I use 75-80 of these particular seeds per year. Always arrive in perfect condition, well packaged and straight. TONS of flavor!

These beans are moist and plump a little more than the other two, although it could be in the packaging. The native vanilla beans have a slight smoky scent and the fit clean, have a fruity base scent. The vanilla bean kings just smell like vanilla. I would like to use the native vanilla for my next batch of vanilla extract. To me they are favored for their scent above the other two.

Amazing vanilla beans!! Purchased many over the years but WOW! These were the plumpest I’ve ever bought and I think I must’ve paid attention to price over Premium Grade A beans like these! SO much higher quality! Well worth their price. So much more moist and plump with vanilla bean stuff.

The Beans came in a air sealed bag in fresh and plump condition. Fragrant Yes. So glad I took a chance on this company for the Madagascar Vanilla Beans. Arrived the next day just as I was making my first Homemade Vanilla Extract with other beans Tahitian from Costco that I bought last OCT. I wanted to try making 2 kinds of Vanilla Extract. One with Vodka and one in a Dark Rum. So arrival was spot on. Got them both started, and now to wait and wait. I would order from this Company again. EDIT: I am back to Re-order. First order and above review was from June 2019. Just placed my 2nd Order for these beans from the same company. First was as I stated beautiful and plump. Length was as stated. My Homemade Vanilla Extract Experience: One I didn't have quite enough Vodka so I used Everclear to fill up the jar. Well I do not like that Vanilla much at all. Maybe it will sit for 10 yrs and be ok for me. The Dark Rum was Jamaican Dark Rum and that Vanilla is super good. When I made the Vanilla, the recipe I had said to shake the Vanilla every week and I did. Also kept on a shelf in a dark Pantry. Now in the questions there is an actual Measurement for making Single Fold Vanilla. I may try that guideline on this next batch. The Chef that I listened to was Ina Garten about her vanilla. When Her stash gets about 1/2 way used She adds more Vodka. In a few months She'll add a few more Vanilla Beans. So that is what I have been doing. All is well with my Vanilla. Oh I did after about 1 1/2 years pull out a few beans and opened them up and scraped them into the Extract. I give it a shake and measure it out. This Company has GREAT VANILLA BEANS.

The best that we have tried so far!!

These are very good whole vanilla beans. There’s a fine aroma either due to origin and/or because it is vanilla. I think they have a lot of good health benefits, and you can also add these vanilla pods to other healthy things like black tea, black coffee or chai tea which is black tea with chai spices added. You can make your own chai spice blend, or buy a blend. The chai blend I have has cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and black pepper. I like using this blend of chai spices either pre-made or homemade. If chai spices are blended yourself, ratios can be changed and a trace few other things can be added including turmeric (there’s turmeric with more healthy curcumin which is a more recent discovery), curry leaf, allspice, bay leaf, fennel seeds, coriander seeds and star anise. Adding chai spices with this vanilla to a brew of black tea to create a chai tea brew is very exciting both for taste and general health! Also with the chai spices, certain ingredients have a fresh vs dried variant. Other exciting growing origins exist for vanilla, including Indonesia and it makes me wonder what the true history of this plant is. I’m curious if it has been moved around the planet with growing conditions considered. The Central Americas with the variety of countries there (as said not just one place) is said to be the origin of this plant. If this is true, then I guess vanilla has been moved around the planet like certain other foods. These few new places are now Madagascar with this one and Indonesia as well. A new trend for better or worse in vanilla is not just extract, but making your own extract. Overall I think it is best fresher, but it makes me wonder if there was a very good origin with limited supply, people might want extract instead. In general though, fresher the better I think!

OMG you can smell the vanilla without even opening the package. Very fresh. I put it in Vodka to make my own extract. Let it sit, stirring every now and then, usually sits for a year to 18 months.

So fresh, delicious and fragrant. Will buy more

I am very impressed with the quality on these vanilla beans. They are wide, oily and tender which made them easy to split. These beans are a great value. All vanilla beans have a slightly funky ammonia smell that some people can distinguish more easily than others. This does not affect the finished vanilla extract.
