Gya Labs 30 Madagascar Vanilla Beans for Making Vanilla Extract, Baking - Grade A - 5-7 Inches (12 to 15 CM) long, Caviar Rich, Flavorful Fresh Pods

Great beans to make my vanilla extract, plump soft, great

Quite happy. I bought the 30 bean package. The bean pods where fresh and very fragrant; you could smell them once I opened the package. Inside, there were 3 separately wrapped packs. Logically, 10 to each pack, but 2 of them had 12 pods and the last one only 9. So I got 3 extra pods. I started my homemade vanilla the day after x-mas and they are already quite dark. Excited to try it in a couple of months! I would buy again.

Smelled like vanilla when we opened the package there was an earthy smell about it too. We also noticed a plastic smell as soon as we opened it..but it dissipated after a few minutes. This is my 1st time working with vanilla beans. We are making our own extract. We decided on speed so we split the pods and scraped out the caviar, and cut the pods into 3rds so we used a whole six ounces in a 1.75 liter of vodka. We poured out about 8oz to make sure we had a good ounce to bean ratio..we will see this turns out in a few months. The pods were pliable most were fairly plump and the caviar quantity per pods were phenomenal in our opinion…(but what do we know this is our 1st experiment). I was impressed with what I got out of my package..no mold or mildew.. we shook it a few times after filling bottle and here is our 1st day.

Tender ,fresh and great price!

The quality of the beans themselves seems pretty decent, but when weighing the beans out on my food scale, they measured at 1.0 oz while still sealed air tight in their bag. 0.2 oz may not seem like a big deal, but when making extract, it can be. I suggest ordering from Cook’s brand instead - they have both Tahitian and Madagascar beans and their quality is phenomenal! Huge, super plump beans, long in length, smells amazing, and for 10 of them, they weighed 1.5 oz in their sealed bag. Similar price point too.Cook’s, Tahitian Organic Vanilla Beans, Grade A, World’s Finest Gourmet Fresh Premium Vanilla, Certified Organic by CCOF, 10 Whole Beans https://a.co/d/iGOsoFs

Excellent beans well packaged. I use for creme brulee with great results, lovely flavor.

Nice size , moist,packed well and plump . would buy again.. actually I did but a 50 pack size . .lol..Lots of bean paste in them great for homemade extract.

I was really impressed with these Tahitian vanilla beans and would purchase again. The vanilla beans were actually 5"-7" long and plump enough to slice lengthwise. The beans were vacuum-sealed and when I opened the packet, a lovely vanilla scent was released. Since I am using these to make homemade vanilla extract, I won't know how strong or flavorful the vanilla will be until July 2025. Note: I made my vanilla extract October 2024 by using 10 vanilla beans, cut in half and then sliced open lengthwise, per 8 ounces bourbon & vodka mixed 50/50.
