25 Plump Tahitian Vanilla Beans for Making Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Beans Grade A, From Papua, Perfect Homemade Extract, baking and cooking (25 BEANS)

These vanilla beans are plump, moist and have a very nice fragrance right out of the package. I have made my own vanilla for years. I started with Hawaiian vanilla beans and have use others, because of of expence. These are by far the nicest I have used. The price is excellent, also. Since I got 25 beans, I had enough beans to refresh my original bottle of vodka vanilla, make a second bottle of vodka vanilla and a bottle of bourbon vanilla. I'll be giving Christmas gifts this year.

Wonderful for soaking in Bourbon, or Vodka for making your own vanilla. Soak for several months.

Bought for homemade vanilla extract. We are using buffalo trace bourbon. Already after a week this is a dark dark color. These smell wonderful. Thick and fresh. Will buy again.

Love these vanilla beans, were fresh and plump. I use them to make my own vanilla extract which also works in cocktails. Great for flavoring desserts and ice cream when you want a more intense vanilla taste.

I usually use only the Madagascar vanilla beans (Grade A) when I make my homemade vanilla, but for this batch, I decided to use a mix of half Tahitian and half Madagascar with Bourbon. These vanilla beans seem to be a better Tahitian bean than I previously purchased. They seem to be larger, thicker, and not as dry. Cutting down the side was easier on this batch and was just easier to use in general. I would say these were a good value compared to the brand I purchased a few years ago. I look forward to seeing how this batch turned out.

These are quite possibly the best Vanilla beans I've ever purchased online. They're plump, moist, and very fresh. I made quite a few bottles of vanilla extract with these. I will repurchase. Thank you.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this product, in particular, because the beans were the grade and type I wanted to have, for an extraction project.Size:The beans were a bit smaller than beans I had gotten, of the same number of beans, previously. Taste:I didn’t try tasting any of the beans. I did a perfumery extraction on them with denatured alcohol. I used them as fragrance. Value for money:Although the beans are a bit smaller in size than some other beans, they performed well, in the extraction project that I put them in, and it.s overall a good buy, especially since it’s cheaper and it produced fairly equal results as my former extractions. Functionality:They worked well, for extraction. Smell:The smell is characteristic. Durability:Some of the beans were not fully closed and sealed, like beans I’d had, in the past, and some of the seeds leaked out, during the extraction process, which complicated things a little bit.The included photo is of my extraction project jar, which is full of vanilla beans in solvent, and some other ingredients.

They smell delicious even made the box that came in with other items. It smelled delicious. Size was accurate. I cannot comment on taste. I haven’t opened the package yet. Based on the smell alone, I’m sure they are a good quality and they are wonderfully scented.
