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

I have started making my own vanilla. I use a 10 oz bottle of high-quality vodka, and put all 10the vanilla beans in it. Put the top on tight, label the bottle, and put it in a dark cabinet. Then you need to shake it once a week. I followed the instructions that I found online the first time, and it said you only had to let it sit for a couple months, but my first bottle ended up being about five months to get the vanilla flavor good and strong. The cost of making your own is probably about the same if you are using high-quality vodka.

I use real vanilla a lot, mostly to make Caneles de Bordeaux, and some puddings, Panna Cotta and the likes. These are great! They are fresh, playable, easy to open, plump enough. The taste is superb. I usually mix my canele slurry, bring the milk to a boil with the sugar and vanilla beans and when all ingredients are mixed I pop it in the fridge for 1-2 days with the vanilla beans inside. I don’t take them out. Taste intensifies. Then bake the candles after at least 24 hrs in fridge. Got my Canale molds on A as well. I am using a 12 “well” non-stick coated heavy canale molds and it works great. Great product, great taste

I purchased these for making vanilla extract for the first time and have since reordered them for a second batch. They are affordable, leave no waste, and provide the perfect amount for preparing vanilla extract. The packaging is sturdy, with no damage, and slightly thicker, which helps contain the aroma. There was no mold or moldy smell present. The color matches the picture exactly, and the aroma is amazing. The vanilla beans are easy to open, allowing all the beans to soak properly for the extract. Overall, I find these very easy to use. Although I have only used them for making extract, I would continue purchasing this product based on my last two shipments.

I'm not a vanilla bean expert but I bake and cook desserts enough to know what works and what doesn't. These vanilla beans worked really well. Soft and pliable so they were easy to split and scrape. There was a lot of vanilla to scrape and it was very favorable. The beans are a longer length. I used them in a scone and roasted rhubarb and the flavor profile was excellent.

I’ve ordered these exact beans from Vanilla Bean Kings directly and now also from them here on Amazon. (The company sells direct through their site and also on here). The beans are very flavorful and I highly recommend them. I did notice differences between the Amazon order and the direct website ordering. Here’s my comparison of the orders:Direct through vanilla bean kings site: going through the direct website is cheaper for the co op pricing of these beans. (Co-op pricing for these exact beans is $8 per oz.). They are plump and extremely flavorful. Very nice length and I got 12 beans for my 2 oz order directly through their site website ordering. I paid $16 total for 2 oz.Ordering though Amazon: 25 pack on here was very good flavor beans and moist, but they were much smaller and not as moist as the ones directly from the company through their website ordering. For my 25 bean ordering from Amazon, I got exactly 2.5 oz of beans. The pricing was $27.99.If you compare 2 oz for $16 from their direct site vs $27.99 for 2.5 oz (the 25 beans) from my Amazon order, I overpaid $7.99 by placing my order on Amazon when you compare pricing by oz. of beans.I do love the beans and the flavor is unbelievable, so I am happy with the quality, but in the future I will go straight to the site for better pricing and bigger beans. That’s the only reason I’m taking off a star. Quality is exceptional though.

I’ve never ordered vanilla beans online so didn’t know what to expect. This company far exceeded my expectations. These beans were long, plump and oh so fragrant. Way better than the one bean I can find in local stores for way more money. Will never hesitate buying these vanilla beans from this company again. Matter of fact, will be my only go to company for quality vanilla beans. I can’t wait to try their other selections

These are the best vanilla beans for making homemade vanilla extract. I buy a cheap pint of vodka and cut a few slits in the beans and put all 10 of them in the vodka bottle. Write the date on it and give it a shake every so often. The longer it sits the better it is.

Why didn’t I try this sooner! The level of vanilla bean flavor is exceptional. I recommend this method for any Baker. What a perfect way to make gifts for the holidays, birthday or just because. The smell and taste do not compare to anything bought off the shelf. Definite recommend for buying.
