10 Madagascar Bourbon Planifolia Extract Grade B Vanilla Beans

I liked the vanilla beans very much, but, they weren't very "meaty". They came looking like I expected; about 6 inches long. I would have like more vanilla meat is all. I would recommend them

Received in good time, going to use for extract. There was a hair in the packinging that kinda grossed us out, but giving the benefit of the doubt that it was unintentional and just simply overlooked.

These vanilla beans are amazing! They are soft and fresh; they smelled so good when I was cutting them open I just wanted to scrape the beans right into my mouth! When I finished with my vanilla recipe and had it all put away, I left the cutting board and knife that I used to split the beans on the kitchen counter until I washed dishes later that day; the whole kitchen smelled like amazing vanilla all day which indicates to me these are really good quality. I was a bit nervous ordering these since a few of the recent post said the beans were very dry; not a one of the ten that I received were dry. Great quality, great price!

Item arrived on time and was as advertised. I am using it to make extract and am pleased.

The taste of these vanilla beans is deep, rich and flavorful. I use them to make my own vanilla extract and to use in desserts. They are very fresh when delivered and sealed nicely. I use the fresh vanilla on top of ice cream, add it to whipped cream and mix with berries. By the way...if you've never grilled a glazed donut, topped it with fresh vanilla ice cream, added fresh vanilla and some citrus zest on top....go do it now. Seriously.Thank you for a great product that we will order again and use often.

My fault for buying grade B. I used some for home brew, but it is not satisfactory for cooking or baking. Buy Grade A vanilla beans for cooking. Grade B are best only for making extract.

These are very good tasting aromatic vanilla beans. I haven't used them to make vanilla extract yet but plan to some time. I use them to flavor ice cream and the ice cream is very vanilla tasting using two. One is suggested in the recipes but if vanilla is used I want to taste it, not just wonder what the flavor is. I have bought several different vanilla beans from different countries and don't really notice a big difference in flavor. These are at the right price and are great tasting so I may buy them again if the price is the lowest.

Since a trip to Mexico is out of the question, I used these beans to make homemade vanilla. They were perfect for my needs! Grade A is moist and "ready to use for fresh cooking." Grade B is perfect to soak and use for infusing. It's "the dry-ness of the pod," not the flavor, and why pay top price for something you're going to soak in alcohol for 3-6 months?The only way I've found to buy cheaper is to buy in bulk, and I'm not ready for that... Yet.Thank you!
