SPICEEL Madagascar Vanilla Beans Whole Grade A Vanilla Pods for Making Extract, Whole 5" - 7" Vanilla Beans for Baking, 6 Counts

These are plump, moist, beautiful, Vanilla Beans! Lots of gorgeous caviar in each pod. I've made Vanilla Sugar to give as gifts this year. It's magic in your coffee and great for bakinq. I also gifted these beans to a dear friend who is a kitchen wiz, and she was delighted. Great product quality, freshness and scent. I ordered another brand that was a little less expensive, and it was a mistake. I've ordered this brand 4x, & am always delighted with the results. These are THE vanilla beans I will continue to order , use and recommend.

I was impressed with these vanilla beans. I used some in a cheesecake, some to make vanilla sugar, and the rest to make vanilla oil. They are larger and plumper than others I have gotten in the past. When I split them open and scraped out the bean caviar there was a decent amount. The aroma is lovely and the flavor very pleasing. They’re nice packaged and sealed for freshness. The price was very reasonable compared to what I pay locally if I can find them at all. I would definitely order these again.

At the moment I'm doing a vanilla extract with these beans. From the deep, pungent vanilla scent the instant I opened the package, to the soft pliability of each bean as I cut them, I knew I was getting high quality vanilla beans. A little slender, but perfect for my purpose. And a fair price, considering what the vanilla bean industry has gone through for the past few years. I'll be returning every time I need vanilla beans.

My first time buying vanilla beans. These are moist. Easy to split open. I'm using these to make vanilla extract. I'll know in 6 months.

I used the SPICEEL Madagascar Vanilla Beans Grade A Vanilla Pods to make my own vanilla extract, and the quality is exactly what you want. The beans were plump, aromatic, and easy to work with—strong vanilla scent right out of the package. For anyone wanting to make extract, here’s a simple method that worked well: Split 5–6 beans lengthwise to expose the seeds Place them in a clean glass jar (8 oz size works well) Add 1 cup of vodka (80 proof) until fully submerged Seal and store in a cool, dark place Shake occasionally and let it sit for at least 8 weeks (longer = stronger) The result is a rich, smooth vanilla extract that’s noticeably better than store-bought. These beans held up well through the process and delivered great flavor. I’ll definitely be buying more.

Making homemade vanilla and have used these for years without disappointment.

Very nice quality product and I appreciate the price. Would recommend.

These are a great value! I added them to vodka and within a week I have a nice smelling start to vinilla! Can’t wait to bake with it in a few months Update The vinilla extract turned out great and I also made a paste! I can’t get enough of it. Blended up into a paste all but 5 beans I used in my extract added alcohol I used bourbon and xanthan gum. Made over a years worth for me and the flavor is unmatched. I do bake a few times a week!
