Amazing vanilla beans, made several bottles of vanilla extract and months later it is delicious

We have bought these for the past 3 years now, (just bought again), It makes a Years supply of Vanilla extract, (new year new batch), We let it sit in a cool dark place, (basement) for a year, which is just about the time my wife runs out of the previous batch, which she also makes Christmas gifts with. Beans are great, and will continue to buy.

Deep and rich in color with a very pleasant vanilla aroma. I purchased these to make homemade vanilla extract and they did not disappoint. The beans were easy to slice open and not dry like some others. These are good quality vanilla beans. I will order again when I’m ready for more.

These are excellent. All of them are nice and large and they smell fantastic. I am using them to make homemade vanilla.

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

These beans came sealed in a vacuum packed bag which is nice to preserve freshness. These smelled great and the color was vibrant. Size was perfect, around 5.5 inches. I used them to make vanilla extract and the taste is amazing. These are perfect.

The Starbucks petite vanilla bean scones were getting a bit out of budget, so I sought to bring out the baking pan and to make them at home from scratch. These vanilla beans have been an irreplaceable companion on my journey towards the perfect vanilla scone, though I'd also like to give accolades to fresh cream and unsalted Irish butter. There's something to fresh vanilla caviar, whether the fresh, unadulterated flavor or the sheer aesthetic appeal of the vanilla flecks (which my family raved about) that just can't be matched by extract. Thank you, vanilla beans. We couldn't have made wonderfully delicious vanilla bean scones without you. I haven't made extract with these, so I can't comment on that - but these were moist with a nice flavor, and the fragrance of them was absolutely lovely. They were sealed air-tight (vacuum?) to avoid oxidation, keeping all the flavor and good stuff in. Truly fragrant and beautiful, so whether you're making scones or extract, I'd recommend!

Great beans for the price! Arrived vac sealed and they looked/smelled great! Used for vanilla extract, but plump enough for use in recipes that call for scraping/steeping the bean!
