26 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans Extract Exclusive Grade B| 4.5" - 5.5" by FITNCLEAN VANILLA| Certified USDA Organic. Bulk Dry Whole Bourbon NON-GMO Pods

Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed these beans good quality, good color, not moldy very fresh. Taste is amazing. Our vanilla extracts came out. Great made wonderful Christmas presents never enough vanilla beans in my way of thinking, but this was a good amount worth the price very fresh we will be buying again.

I purchased these vanilla beans to make vanilla extract, the beans came perfectly packaged in a vacuum sealed bag. When I opened the bag all of the beans were very fragrant and oily and seem to be a good quality ,not dried out like some beans I have purchased from other sellers. I would definitely recommend

These are lovely Madagascar vanilla beans, the crème de la crème of vanilla beans and the most desired for extracts. With their lower moisture content than Grade A beans, they are perfect for extract since your extract liquid (in our case vodka) won't have to work as hard to pull the essence out.When I received the package, as soon as I opened the box, I could smell the beans aroma, even though they were vacuum packed. Once the package was opened I counted them out (26 as advertised) weighed them (1.6 ounces) and started the process of bottling them.Please note that these beans are drier than Grade A beans and as such, it is not recommended to split them to scrape the "caviar" (seeds) out. Instead, cut them in half before you place them in the bottle. I recommend Boston Round bottles in amber to help block the light so that the extract won't lose it's potency. If you want the caviar, then I recommend you spend a few bucks more to buy the Grade A beans.Once you have them in the bottle, cover them with your alcohol of choice. I used 80 proof vodka, but you can also use rum, whiskey or pure grain alcohol mixed with distilled water to 40 percent strength. The flavor of the final product will be different if you use rum or whiskey.After you have your bottles sealed, cap them and put them up in a cool dark place. It is recommended to let shake the bottles every 3-5 days until they are at the desired strength.Please note that this is NOT an instant gratification product. The longer they stay in the liquid, the better the flavor will be. I used Madagascar beans last spring for sale this fall with a one year aging process, and I have to admit that the wait was worth it. The aroma and flavor is so much better than commercial vanilla products. and much more economical as well per ounce.I will be ordering some more next month so that I can start a batch every month. I always sell out of the vanilla each year and with these beans, I expect to do so next year as well.5 starsJPL

UPDATED EDIT - the seller ensured customer satisfaction by replacing the original package, which had contained bean pods that were quite tiny (see photo) by sending a replacement package. The 2nd package contained bean pods of similar size/length, there were obvious seeds when cutting them to use, and I am happy!!!Beans are smaller than expected. Contacted the seller who explained they send smaller beans in this package. They did state they would send additional beans when I shared the photo with them. The larger bean in the photo was the largest in the package. The one next to it, the thin one and about 30% were the thin pods. The shortest one, I had cut about 1/2" off the end. I think my package might have been an anomaly. They were very fragrant so I have used them.

The packaging is misleading, they are not as big as the picture makes out. HOWEVER, once opened the smell of the vanilla was truly amazing. It even had lovely vanilla bean oil that rubs off on you when you touch them. I had bought some from a grocery store chain and you couldn’t even cut them to scrape vanilla out of it much less use them due to how hard they were. these are soft and fragrant. Made vanilla extract and threw some in my caster sugar to make vanilla sugar.

Great value, look great and the taste is fantastic. These are a great buy and the amount that comes in the pack is amazing. Very fresh!

I love making my own homemade vanilla extract. I use these with Vodka and let sit for a few weeks to a few months. The quality of these beans is wonderful, they make a high quality vanilla extract, that tastes wonderful. They also give off an exquisite aroma when working with them. Their rich flavor is great. I am never disappointed with this brand.

A really good price, for an excellent vanilla bean. I scrape out the paste and put it and the pod in my sugar bowl for my coffee. Will be good for making vanilla extract or adding to baking recipes too.
