10 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans Whole Grade A Vanilla Pods for Vanilla Extract and BakingUSDA Organic

Smells and tastes wonderful! I bought these specifically to start some vanilla extract as holiday gifts, but have also used one to ad to a jar of jug at to make vanilla sugar- heavenly! And another I a couple canning recipes this summer.. the paste in a jam recipe and the pod simmered in a syrup recipe.. probably could have used a smaller piece in the syrup and saved the rest for other recipes. I’m not super familiar or deeply research, but these seem like good quality for a great price. I had them waiting in my cart “saved for later” when I noticed they were a prime day deal!

Great quality, fragrant, fat beans, nice and fresh for making my extract.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:When there is no need to purchase in volume, these are the perfect pick. Absolutely fresh, aromatic and shipped quickly! I have made my own vanilla flavoring for years and needed to make a fresh batch. I appreciate the quality and convenience of this packaging.

I am making homemade vanilla extract. I use two types of vanilla, both are organic. This bean is superior to any other. Super fresh and fragrant. I cut them in half, split them, and added to good vodka for the best extract. In a few months it c will be ready to use for any extract recipe. I know it will be the best extract. The fake extract in stores is a chemical concoction. It’s not healthy. Make your own. Enjoy the robust flavor and aroma. Get some today. Forget the junk sold at stores.

The minute I opened the pack, I could tell the difference over other vanilla beans I have ordered. The aroma was much better and I could feel the freshness as I was cutting them. I bake a lot so I make my own vanilla. Loved the difference in these right away. I gave 4 stars only because I just started the new batch of vanilla and I want to make sure they work as well as the initial impression. For basis of comparison, I have been making my own vanilla for about 8 years and have ordered from various suppliers. My first impression after opening these is I won't buy from anyone else in the future.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I ordered these for homemade vanilla extract. They are very potent and I can’t wait for my vanilla to be ready!

Used these vanilla beans to make homemade extract, and they were awesome. Super fragrant right out of the package and felt really fresh and oily—not dry like some others I’ve tried. They were plump and easy to split, and the flavor is already coming through strong in the extract. Definitely a good pick if you're into baking or DIY extracts.

What can I say? They come tightly sealed so they are nice and fresh. The flavor is delicious. And they are so versatile in recipes. You can make flavored maple syrup, use them in baking, the list is endless. Much better than vanilla extract for things like custards or unbaked items.
