Madagascar Vanilla Beans Grade B (10pk)

Well packaged and potent. Used to make pure vanilla extract as gifts for bakery owners and friends. Going on two years... the potency, is amazing. High quality beans with great thickness and aroma. Each bean was plump and full of moisture. I received so much more than I expected. Great vaily

Perfect, I store them in the freezer for long-term holding. It smells wonderful. It’s perfect for extracting the beans. They will spoil so I highly recommend keeping them cold.

These are great beans. I have been ordering them for a couple of years. My October subscribe and save order did not come. My back up did not come. After trying to get Amazon to tell me if it would ever come and not getting a response, I concluded Amazon was only interested in my money not service. I think I need to find out if I can bypass Amazon to receive the product BTW Amazon finally responded by canceling the order after a week of no response. Wonder if my next order will come??

I split these to use to make vanilla extract! They smell and taste AMAZING!! I started the extract process in January and tbh it looks like its already done (April) but I will let it infuse/extract until December and I will use for Christmas gifts. Will update this if anything changes but it seems to be a great value for the money!! Purchasing vanilla extra has become SO expensive and extracting your own makes great gifts, you know all the ingredients and its cheaper than store bought.. If you are debating these for vanilla extract, BUY THEM!!

Ya mon, I bought dees vanilla beans from da Amazon, mon, ta do da soakin in me vodka so for da vanilla sauce n it be good mon.

Bought these end of last winter and made 100%real vanilla extract. Easy cheap and taste better than store brought. Great gift for friends and family members that bake.

This was my first time to make vanilla extract. I ordered one package of 50 beans as I did not know how many ounces it would be. With the packaging, it turns out to be 4.7 oz. Ordered 2nd package to make 1/2 gal of extract. I combined 2 packages and the total weight of all the beans sans packaging was 9.1 oz of beans. The quality of the beans was excellent. They were uniform in length. Of course, there were some that were less plump but overall, they had plenty of moisture / oil, and I believe the amount of caviar was a very good ratio. I split the beans and scraped them to maximize the surface area and loosen the caviar. I did not put them into individual bottles, choosing instead to put them in a half gallon mason jar, then vacuum sealed the jar, shook well and set the jar aside. I plan to agitate them regularly for the first month, then taper off until I have let them sit for 4 months. then I will filter them and bottle them for Christmas. In reading the reviews prior to purchase, some people indicated they received moldy beans. This was not the case for me. I do not claim to be a long time maker of extract, but I am a long time cook and baker. This is just my experience with this product. YMMV. I have ordered some Madagascar beans and will compare the products when I make another batch with those. I hope this has been somewhat helpful in the event you wanted to know the weight of each package as opposed to just the number of beans. A final note is I used SVEDKA 80 proof vodka which is a 4 times distilled vodka.

These beans were perfectly packed and vacuum sealed. I cut them in half to use in small bottles for gifting homemade vanilla. I put the leftovers away for a few months before I finished using the whole order and they were still perfect.

As soon as I opened up the box I could smell the vanilla and it was still in its sealed package. Very fragrant.These are a good size,I never had any trouble cutting the pod or scraping out the seeds.Looking forward to making my own vanilla!
