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

Beans are thin. I usually cut them in small pieces, let them soak in some kind of alcohol, like gin, rum, etc. They've worked well for baking.

You can smell even with the package being closed- - a couple were drier than the rest- I’m not a vanilla bean expert but they seem to be good quality- we put them in vodka

Smells great as that time would be enough, but it wasn’t enough

They come vacuum sealed and smell amazing, 10/10. Better than i even anticipated if im honest

I go through a lot of vanilla so making my own is the way to go

Was very pleased when I opened the package and the smell of vanilla filled the air. I was very happy with the size of the beans which were deep rich in color to match the scent, very fresh and easily sliced for placement in bottles filled with vodka which will become the finest replenishable vanilla extract 12 long months from now.

Nice for homemade vanilla

Vanilla beans are expensive, but you know what else is MORE expensive? Vanilla sugar, pure vanilla extract, vanilla favored versions of your favorite adult beverages....... need I go on?Long and short, these allowed me to make the above products, and at a price point lower than buying the lower grade vanilla been at the local chain-market.The back was vacuum sealed tighly and I was abel to store these untl I was ready to use them. I did wait until I could do several projects at the same time so I would not have to reseal the beans in a new vacuum seal bag.PROs:-great quality (from I can tell)-very reasonable price-well sealedCON's:-may require a vacuum sealer to repackage if you aren't able to use all the beans at one time.
