26 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans Extract Exclusive Grade B| 4.5" - 5.5" by FITNCLEAN VANILLA| Certified USDA Organic. Bulk Dry Whole Bourbon NON-GMO PodsUSDA Organic

This is truly a great value in vanilla beans compared to those small packets you get in the grocery store. They are fresh and packaged in an air tight container, each one is completely intact, with great color, softness and smell. I found no problems with any of the beans in this pack and would definitely purchase them again.

I finally decided that it was time to make my own vanilla extract. I was no longer comfortable paying what the grocery store was charging.So, I bought a bottle of my husband’s favorite ‘cheap’ whiskey, added half the package of beans to it, recapped the bottle and stuck it in the back of my cabinet. After 8 weeks, I pulled it out to take a look. The color of the liquid had significantly changed and the smell was amazing!What I Loved:Amazing fragrance: The instant you break the seal on the package you are hit with the sweet buttery vanilla aroma.Moist & Pliable pods: The beans are soft and packed with caviar – exactly what you want when making extract.Balance of quality vs. value: Organic, non-GMO packaging, plump beans – perfect for anyone serious about real vanilla.I used it in some pancake batter at the eight-week mark and it was just as good as the store bought. I decided to leave the beans in the bottle and just see how much better it can get. This means that for less than $40 usd I have just under 60 ounces if vanilla extract that will continue to get better over time. And I still have about 12 beans to use for other purposes. (Be sure to appropriately seal and store any left overs.) This means it cost me under $0.70 usd per ounce from organic Madagascar beans and whiskey from a manufacturer I trust. The cheapest I can currently find as of today for similar is $4.50 usd per ounce.Things to remember:Vanilla Beans are from a plant. No two beans are alike. The bean size and plumpness will vary. Be attentive to the grade of beans you purchase. These are Grade B beans, some will be slim or even split – That is normal.Takeaways:Whether you are crafting homemade extract, making an infusion, vanilla sugar, or enhancing the flavor of a dish, these beans are stellar! Plus, they are organic, vacuum-sealed for freshness and – dare I say – add a little luxe to your pantry without breaking the bank. If you are looking for authentic, quality beans, these deliver in spades.

We used these to make our own vanilla extract. They were a little smaller than I expected but they smelled good and seemed moist. Our vanilla became a wonderful dark amber quickly and seems to be working well. We will be able to try the vanilla extract in a few more weeks.

Got them to make homemade vanilla extract. I had already purchased some grade A ones and wanted to get these to compare. These ones were slightly drier but still incredibly fragrant. The vaccuum seal was ok and had no issues with mold. The color and texture were perfect for extract grade beans.

Fresh and flavorful but noticeably smaller than other brands. I didnt notice anything out of the ordinary, they appear to be high quality and tasted great in my homemade syrup. color looked great as well.

Love the quality and value of these for extract! They're super fresh! Still moist and you can smell them through the (very well) sealed package! They were easy to slice. They weighed 1.8 oz or 50 g. Don't order the 2 oz for extract, they're Tahitian while these are Madagascar!

Great beans, soft, fragrant. only after 1 month the color is dark and coming along nicely. Can’t wait for the holidays to use the vanilla. Will buy them again.

Great quality for the vanilla extract I am planning for friends!
