12 Large Vanilla Beans Bulk For Making Vanilla Extract Grade A - NON-GMO Fresh Pods, "6-9" Inches, Perfrect for Homemade Extract, Cooking, and Brewing

I’ve purchased these twice, for my own vanilla extract. The first time was abt a yr ago and that batch is perfect. They come vacuum sealed so they’re perfect when you open them. Great aroma and perfect flavor for my extract.

Very plump and fresh! Will purchase again.

Makes an excellent vanilla extract. The scent was so rich. The size beans are amazingly plump and full of oils. Color spot on. Very moist and easy to split. I’ll buy them again.

The Starbucks petite vanilla bean scones were getting a bit out of budget, so I sought to bring out the baking pan and to make them at home from scratch. These vanilla beans have been an irreplaceable companion on my journey towards the perfect vanilla scone, though I'd also like to give accolades to fresh cream and unsalted Irish butter. There's something to fresh vanilla caviar, whether the fresh, unadulterated flavor or the sheer aesthetic appeal of the vanilla flecks (which my family raved about) that just can't be matched by extract. Thank you, vanilla beans. We couldn't have made wonderfully delicious vanilla bean scones without you. I haven't made extract with these, so I can't comment on that - but these were moist with a nice flavor, and the fragrance of them was absolutely lovely. They were sealed air-tight (vacuum?) to avoid oxidation, keeping all the flavor and good stuff in. Truly fragrant and beautiful, so whether you're making scones or extract, I'd recommend!

TL/DR - you need more than a couple beans in a jar of alcohol if you’re making vanilla extract These are amazing Indonesian beans, especially for the price. These beans aren’t as big as other varieties, but it is what you should expect for an Indonesian bean. They mostly have a very good amount of caviar in them. I can see if someone doesn’t actually know what to expect from a vanilla bean they would think they aren’t plump, but if you have any doubts go by a bean from your local grocery store. If your store in vodka, you will have an easier time getting all the seeds (aka caviar) out. They are very fresh and pliable (as they should be) and have a great scent. If you think they smell weird, lightly rub on your inner wrist and smell 15 minutes later (so the scent isn’t so concentrated). A lot of the pictures of “mold” on here isn’t actually mold, it is vanillin (the compound that gives the flavor you all know and love as vanilla). I ordered a few packages of these, and the average was about 1.3 ounces for the 11 beans (because weight is was matters when making vanilla extract - 1 ounce beans per 8 oz vodka/rum/etc). The smallest was just over one ounce and the largest was 2.1 ounces. If you are buying these for vanilla extract, just understand that putting a bean or two in a jar of vodka isn’t going to taste good. And it is not because there is something wrong with the beans. FDA regulations for vanilla extract is 13.xx ounces per gallon, which is about .85 ounces per cup (I round up to 1 ounce). If you are just using the beans for the caviar, don’t! Throw the pod in some alcohol to make extract, add it to sugar to make vanilla sugar, or grind it up to make vanilla powder. The pod is where all the real flavor is

I like the vanilla extract that I have made from these beans. NO complaints. Keep well, though a resealable package would be nice (I transfer to glass tubes)

Made alot of vanilla extract with these. Goes a long way. Best price and very fresh

Love this product. I use to make my vanilla extract and paste. There nice and moist and full of vanilla caviar per bean.

For home bakers, pastry enthusiasts, or anyone running small-batch artisanal projects, sourcing high-grade vanilla beans in bulk can be a massive gamble. Many bulk packages arrive dried out, brittle, or completely lacking that rich, oily sheen. This 50-pack of Grade A vanilla beans completely blows the competition away, delivering phenomenal moisture content, incredible aroma, and pristine culinary performance. I currently have a batch of double-fold extract steeping in bourbon jars right now using these beans, set for a full one-year extract run that will be perfectly ready by this December. The quality of these pods gives me total confidence that the end result is going to be incredibly deep and complex. Moisture Content & Bean Quality: The standout feature of this batch is the sheer plumpness of the pods. These are true Grade A beans, measuring a generous 6 to 8 inches in length. They are remarkably supple, flexible, and oily to the touch—meaning they are packed to the brim with millions of tiny, flavorful caviar seeds. They split open effortlessly with a paring knife without tearing or crumbling, allowing you to scrape out the caviar cleanly if you prefer using them directly in baking bases. Extract Efficiency & Packaging: Because these pods are non-GMO, incredibly fresh, and deeply aromatic, they infuse into spirits with exceptional speed and depth. The entire 50-count lot arrives vacuum-sealed in a heavy-duty, moisture-lock pouch. This is an absolute necessity for bulk spices, ensuring the beans retain their moisture baseline and intoxicating fragrance on your pantry shelf until you are ready to split them. Pros: Exceptionally plump, oily, and flexible Grade A pods with elite moisture retention. Generous 6–8" length ensures a massive yield of vanilla caviar per bean. Vacuum-sealed bulk packaging guarantees long-term freshness and aroma preservation. Outstanding price-per-piece value footprint for serious extract makers. Cons: Because they are vacuum-packed with high natural moisture, once you open the main seal, you'll want to transfer any unused beans to a tight glass jar or resealable airtight container to keep them from drying out. Verdict: A masterclass in ingredient quality. Whether you are splitting them for a high-end, long-term bourbon extract or scraping the caviar into gourmet pastries, these fresh pods deliver a rich, authentic flavor profile that mass-market products can't touch.

Las vainas de vainilla son dolorosísimas, huelen delicioso. Se pueden emplear para preparar alimentos, como para fragancias. Me gusta que la compañía envía el producto empaquetado al vacío. Así conservan su fragancia para cuando se vayan a emplear.
