25 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans. Whole Grade - Pods for Extract and BakingUSDA Organic

I have ordered from this company several times now. I did try another vanilla bean brand a few times, and the beans were no where near as plump amd full as vanilla kings and a bag of 25 from another company didnt last as long as 10 from VK, because I have to use two. These are great beans with lots of flavor and one is usually all I need for a recipe. Will continue to order these!

What can I say? They come tightly sealed so they are nice and fresh. The flavor is delicious. And they are so versatile in recipes. You can make flavored maple syrup, use them in baking, the list is endless. Much better than vanilla extract for things like custards or unbaked items.

Love these vanilla beans just what I wanted to make my own vanilla extract. Easy to cut and slice and insert into jars. Definitely use them again. Rich smell throughout the kitchen!

Nice beans. A little skinny but very good quality. Easy to cut and use for extract. I’m excited to see how they do in my Beluga Vodka from Russia. It’s such a smooth taste I’m sure it will make excellent extract! Good value for the beans.

I’ve ordered these exact beans from Vanilla Bean Kings directly and now also from them here on Amazon. (The company sells direct through their site and also on here). The beans are very flavorful and I highly recommend them. I did notice differences between the Amazon order and the direct website ordering. Here’s my comparison of the orders:Direct through vanilla bean kings site: going through the direct website is cheaper for the co op pricing of these beans. (Co-op pricing for these exact beans is $8 per oz.). They are plump and extremely flavorful. Very nice length and I got 12 beans for my 2 oz order directly through their site website ordering. I paid $16 total for 2 oz.Ordering though Amazon: 25 pack on here was very good flavor beans and moist, but they were much smaller and not as moist as the ones directly from the company through their website ordering. For my 25 bean ordering from Amazon, I got exactly 2.5 oz of beans. The pricing was $27.99.If you compare 2 oz for $16 from their direct site vs $27.99 for 2.5 oz (the 25 beans) from my Amazon order, I overpaid $7.99 by placing my order on Amazon when you compare pricing by oz. of beans.I do love the beans and the flavor is unbelievable, so I am happy with the quality, but in the future I will go straight to the site for better pricing and bigger beans. That’s the only reason I’m taking off a star. Quality is exceptional though.

I have started making my own vanilla. I use a 10 oz bottle of high-quality vodka, and put all 10the vanilla beans in it. Put the top on tight, label the bottle, and put it in a dark cabinet. Then you need to shake it once a week. I followed the instructions that I found online the first time, and it said you only had to let it sit for a couple months, but my first bottle ended up being about five months to get the vanilla flavor good and strong. The cost of making your own is probably about the same if you are using high-quality vodka.

Since vanilla essence disappeared in my area, I decided to make my own. With these Madagascar beans I produced a great tasting, large batch of vanilla for my baking needs.

I have used these vanilla beans before and made high quality vanilla with them. I am making more now. The taste is rich and a nice dark color appears after about two weeks. Although it takes at least six months to get maximum flavor.
