I find these beans are excellent for making homemade vanilla...

Nice. Smell very good.

Made great extract

Very good quality beans, were not dry at all. The beans were good sizes and the perfect texture.

These are great to make vanilla extract. Good quality, plump and fresh. I will purchase these again.

I’m happy these pods are not skinny. Hopefully they taste great in my home-made vanilla extract.

Zero regrets purchase!!! The recipe I have for homemade vanilla extract says to use grade B beans, but not to chop/grind them. The beans are tiiiiiiny, and when I tried scraping them out I was dropping alot of them. Truth be told, I am not a very patient person with small items, so I slit the pod lengthwise, scraped what I could directly into the bottle I was transferring them to, then cut the remaining pods into 2" pieces and dropped them into the same bottle. The recipe says to shake daily for a month, but the vanilla smell the day I started it was already wonderful! I still have not made it to a month, but I have already used it in recipes (baked and non-baked) and the difference is quite notable, in a positive way. An elderly family member that lives to bake has asked for a bottle, too, because of the freshness and quality of taste! I used the beans in a 10oz bottle of bottom shelf V to make the extract, which put my cost around $39 for the whole bottle. I initially thought that a little expensive, but that works out to around $3.90/oz, which is competitive to major brands in our area. I think I could have split the beans between two 10oz bottles and still had a quality extract, but I am quite pleased with the results and price per oz of the 10oz bottle.
