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

I finally decided that it was time to make my own vanilla extract. I was no longer comfortable paying what the grocery store was charging. So, I bought a bottle of my husband’s favorite ‘cheap’ whiskey, added half the package of beans to it, recapped the bottle and stuck it in the back of my cabinet. After 8 weeks, I pulled it out to take a look. The color of the liquid had significantly changed and the smell was amazing! What I Loved: Amazing fragrance: The instant you break the seal on the package you are hit with the sweet buttery vanilla aroma. Moist & Pliable pods: The beans are soft and packed with caviar – exactly what you want when making extract. Balance of quality vs. value: Organic, non-GMO packaging, plump beans – perfect for anyone serious about real vanilla. I used it in some pancake batter at the eight-week mark and it was just as good as the store bought. I decided to leave the beans in the bottle and just see how much better it can get. This means that for less than $40 usd I have just under 60 ounces if vanilla extract that will continue to get better over time. And I still have about 12 beans to use for other purposes. (Be sure to appropriately seal and store any left overs.) This means it cost me under $0.70 usd per ounce from organic Madagascar beans and whiskey from a manufacturer I trust. The cheapest I can currently find as of today for similar is $4.50 usd per ounce. Things to remember: Vanilla Beans are from a plant. No two beans are alike. The bean size and plumpness will vary. Be attentive to the grade of beans you purchase. These are Grade B beans, some will be slim or even split – That is normal. Takeaways: Whether you are crafting homemade extract, making an infusion, vanilla sugar, or enhancing the flavor of a dish, these beans are stellar! Plus, they are organic, vacuum-sealed for freshness and – dare I say – add a little luxe to your pantry without breaking the bank. If you are looking for authentic, quality beans, these deliver in spades.

I make my own vanilla once a year and have been very satisfied with the quality that these beans give my vanilla. This package made enough for two quart-sized jars. The vanilla is so fragrant and makes our baked goods delicious. Would recommend to others.

Perfect for my needs of making vanilla extract. Arrived in an airtight container. Product was moist, flavorful and smelled amazing. Will order again!

Excellent beans. I use for making small bottles of my own vanilla extract. I give as gifts and these beans are perfect and great value. I have bought several packages and all arrive the same - well packaged and fresh - no dried out beans. I will buy again and recommend.

4 stars. Because of size and lack of how many ounces you’re purchasing. These are smaller beans, but they work as intended for homemade vanilla extract. They were supple not dried out.I wish they would have given the weight in ounces. I would’ve ordered 2 packages.

Vanilla beans were great for the price and smelled amazing. I am using these to make vanilla extract to give out as gifts for christmas. I am looking forward to the extract that it makes. The first time I made vanilla extract the vanilla beans I used at the time were so hard I could not cut them in half. These seem much better and I was able to cut them in half which will hopefully make the extract better.

Purchased to make vanilla extract. Taste was good. Texture as expected. Fresh product. Quality seemed good. Color as expected. No complaints on the extract.

The smell is VERY earthy and woody in a way that pairs great with the scent of vanilla. Not only are these more fresh AND far better in flavor and aroma than store bought ones but theyre about 10x cheaper. You're getting 26 for 25$ (keep in mind 1 individual vanilla beans in this pack is about 2 inches longer than the store bought ones) as opposed to the kind at the grocery store which go for about 18$ for only 2 of them. Buy online. Better in every way😎
