## Description

desertcart.com : 10 Madagascar Vanilla Beans Grade A Whole Vanilla Pods for Vanilla Extract and Baking : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Excellent value for top-tier vanilla bean - These are sealed well and remain soft and resinous until you open them, which is exactly what you want. Probably the best combination of price/value and quality for vanilla bean I've ever seen. Make sure you learn how to process it: slice the pod in half lengthwise, then use the edge of a knife to scrape-out the sticky black "caviar". I then save the husks to stuff into bottles of Mexican vanilla I have in the kitchen, to enhance them over time. There's nothing like cooking and baking with real vanilla!
Review: Good quality, long easy to use vanilla beans. Perfect for homemade vanilla. - Good quality, plump vanilla beans. Perfect for making my own vanilla and vanilla sugar. They were nice and moist, good length. They also smell amazing. Would buy again.

## Features

- Strong fragrance sourced from a recent 2021 harvest. Cured to bring out aromatics and flavor - essential to add a complexity of flavors.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these organic?**
A: These vanilla beans are not certified organic. Organic certification places an undue hardship on small farmers because of the high cost of certification. The reality is that most vanilla beans grown, harvested, and cured by indigenous farmers are done without the use of any unnatural chemicals or additives.

**Q: Which method are these beans cured?**
A: These vanilla beans are cured in the traditional method. They are cured for 14 days in the sun. At night, they are packed into sweating boxes to reduce moisture. They are then stored in curing boxes for an additional 4 months where they develop fragrance even further, as well as allowing time to convert glucovanillin into vanillin. The result is a superior vanilla bean.

**Q: What is the difference between grade a and grade b beans? And why does the seller say these are not suitable for extract?**
A: There are many differences in Grade A vs. Grade B vanilla beans. The most notable would be the moisture content. Grade A are at least 30-35% moisture, but do not exceed 38%. Grade B can range from 15-25% moisture content.

Grade A is considered to be a versatile bean. It CAN be used for extract. It is IDEAL for uses in baking where the vanilla bean needs to be split and the caviar to be scraped out. Grade B often is difficult or dangerous risking injury where the knife may roll and cut the user, and is not recommended to be split.

**Q: Do these come vacuum sealed?**
A: Yes there were vacuum sealed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, long easy to use vanilla beans. Perfect for homemade vanilla.
*by J***N on December 11, 2025*

Good quality, plump vanilla beans. Perfect for making my own vanilla and vanilla sugar. They were nice and moist, good length. They also smell amazing. Would buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Vanilla Beans
*by T***E on January 15, 2026*

I purchased these vanilla beans to make my own vanilla extract. It is so much less expensive than to purchase vanilla from the store. It makes quite a bit of vanilla extract. I have also made individual small batches to give as gifts. They seem to be a quality item. I know that I can use the paste inside of them, but I have not done so as of yet.
