## Description

Vanilla Pods are one of the most exclusive spices in the world, primarily due to the extensive labor required to grow and process the Vanilla. It’s cultivation is a long and labor intensive process taking eight months, from when the farmer hand pollinates each flower, to when they are ready for harvesting. The plant that produces vanilla is from the orchid family and is a herbaceous vine that is perennial climber living in tropical areas where the temperature ranges between 70 to 86 degrees. Vanilla beans are picked while they are still green and have to be cured to create their distinct vanilla flavor and smell. The vanilla pods are harvested as they ripen once their color changes from dark green to light green with a yellow tinge. The pods then undergo several stages of processing including classification into length, scalding in hot water, curing in sweating boxes and sun drying before packaging Once the vanilla has been scalded in hot water and transferred into a wooden box lined with a blanket for sweating, they will attain a light brown color and start imparting aroma. At this point they will be spread in the sun for drying during the day and repacked into sweating boxes each night for a 14 day period. The dried and classified vanilla pods are tied with thread into bundles and kept in wooden boxes for further conditioning for a two month period to fully develop the fragrance. Finally, bundles are wrapped in wax paper and stored in airtight container before being vacuum packed to retain freshness for several years.

## 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.
