25 Tahitian Vanilla Beans - Premium Grade B Whole Vanilla Pods - For Vanilla Extract, Cooking, Baking, & Desserts - Rich, Creamy Flavor - 100% Vegan & Kosher - Non-GMO & Gluten-Free - Native Vanilla

Excellent vanilla beans! Plump and fresh. I make my own vanilla extract with Svedka vodka, 50 beans to 1.5 liters vodka. Should be ready for gifts by the holidays!

I use these vanilla beans to make my own vanilla extract. These beans smell incredible and make the most delicious vanilla extract. I’ve also used them to make vanilla syrup for coffee. The beans are very strong so they do a great job of adding vanilla flavor.

I have been using these fresh for a year and I just bought the two other brands to make vanilla. The native vanilla beans have a slight smoky scent and the fit clean, have a fruity base scent. The vanilla bean kings just smell like vanilla. I would like to use the native vanilla for my next batch. To me they are favored for their scent above the other two.

I used these and some inexpensive vodka to make some wonderful vanilla extract for Christmas gifts. I did let the beans sit for a little over one year. Flavor was lovely.

They are very fresh a smell good

I make homemade vanilla 2 x a year. These are the best beans I have ever tried. The price is also the best by far.

I love this product for homemade vanilla extract making.

Wonderful Vanilla Beans!!

Vainilla de buena calidad y a buen precio. Llega bien envasada para su conservación

Excellent quality, out of the 25 pods, maybe 2 were smaller and thinner, the rest were plump, soft pods that were easy to slice in half lengthways and add to a bottle of 40% alcohol (brandy in this instance, but have used vodka previously). A large outlay but left to mature for a few months results in a 70cl bottle of home made vanilla essence that will last a long time even for a keen baker. Quality vanilla pods are not cheap and to get these at 80p a pod is a real bargain. I've been making my own essence for years and it costs less than half the price of the quality brand name ones. The vanilla smell was lush even before I opened the pack, and as there was a sticky residue in the empty pack, I spooned in some caster sugar and shook/rubbed it into the residue resulting in a couple of ounces of vanilla sugar.

Ich habe etwas mehr gebraucht für eine Vanille-Essenz die ich aus 6 Stück ausgeschabten Vanilleschalen mitsamt den Kernen und etwas zerstückelt mit einem Mini-fläschchen Wodka (200 ml) angesetzt habe. Das Ganze muß 2 Monate ziehen, dann wird die Flüssigkeit kohlrabenschwarz und man hat einen exzellenten Vanilleextrakt. Den habe ich jetzt mittlerweile aber schon mal ausprobiert für Vanilleeis und obwohl er jetzt erst 3 Wochen zieht, hat die Essenz eigentlich jetzt schon einen intensiven Geschmack und man kann sie verwenden. Aber ich halte mich dann doch an das Rezept und warte noch ein bisschen. Wir sind jedenfalls sehr begeistert über die Intensität und den herrlichen Geschmack. Tolles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und wenn das so bleibt werden wir Kunde bleiben und diese immerhin zehn Stück weiter bestellen. Aus den restlichen werde ich Vanillezucker machen. Ich vertrage nämlich den künstlichen Vanillezucker nicht. Bekomme davon entsetzliches Hautjucken.

Delightful, delicate scent from these B-grade, Tahitian beans. They are different from Madagascar kind, still very much vanilla, but without the heavy bourbony scent. They were vacuum-wrapped, plump, very nice beans. Fast delivery. Thank you! Made today, I cut the beans in half and split them down the middle before dropping them in the bottle to sit for 12 months to infinity. Retop the original vanilla beans with vodka as you use it up over the years to keep the cycle of extraction perpetual. Great present as it keeps on giving. (At the time of purchase, in May 2021, in Canada, these 25 vanilla beans made me seven-and-a-half 16-ounce bottles of vanilla extract for 150 dollars. If I had bought 7.5 bottles at Costco for almost $40 dollars a piece, it would have been 300 dollars, so it's a good savings to make your own. It cost: Vanilla beans, $49.99, two 1.75 litre bottles of vodka, $49.99 +49.99 = approx. $150 instead of 300. You might say, why on earth would anyone make this much vanilla extract? The truth is if you buy smaller quantities of beans and vodka in smaller sizes, half the amount costs you 33% more, and so it's better to just do this amount and basically never buy vanilla extract again. You can give a bottle to someone you love and save them the cost of vanilla extract in perpetuity, too. Vanilla beans are the bean seed pods from Orchids, which only flower one day per year and need to be carefully hand-pollenated, so it's great they can be reused because they so expensive. Also, my American friends can probably cut my total cost by another 3rd because American liquor is usually 1/3 to 1/2 less expensive that in Canada, ergo they can probably make this extract for 65%-75% savings rather than the Canadian 50% savings shown here.)
