50 Tahitian Extract Grade B Natural Vanilla Beans 5~6" by Vanilla Products USA

Have not opened it yet, still have some Madagascar vanilla I made with the clear rum. But the product looks good visually and I'm going to use either vodka or the 190 proof Ever Clear grain alcohol for the soaking. The purchase value wise I'm getting almost at the twice of weight compareing to the Madagascar vanilla products. Will have to wait on the quality reviews since I will not be opening it for a while.

Good quality vanilla beans... works well for making vanilla extract

Smells so yummy,,,, these vanilla beans are very high quality....

Currently have vanilla extract in the works and vanilla paste in the fridge good quality and honestly the best price, fresh, fragrant, dark beans in a vacuum sealed bag.

Used them to make vanilla extract and vanilla sugar. Very happy with results.

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.
