26 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans Extract Exclusive Grade B| 4.5" - 5.5" by FITNCLEAN VANILLA| Certified USDA Organic. Bulk Dry Whole Bourbon NON-GMO Pods

I finally decided that it was time to make my own vanilla extract. I was no longer comfortable paying what the grocery store was charging. So, I bought a bottle of my husband’s favorite ‘cheap’ whiskey, added half the package of beans to it, recapped the bottle and stuck it in the back of my cabinet. After 8 weeks, I pulled it out to take a look. The color of the liquid had significantly changed and the smell was amazing! What I Loved: Amazing fragrance: The instant you break the seal on the package you are hit with the sweet buttery vanilla aroma. Moist & Pliable pods: The beans are soft and packed with caviar – exactly what you want when making extract. Balance of quality vs. value: Organic, non-GMO packaging, plump beans – perfect for anyone serious about real vanilla. I used it in some pancake batter at the eight-week mark and it was just as good as the store bought. I decided to leave the beans in the bottle and just see how much better it can get. This means that for less than $40 usd I have just under 60 ounces if vanilla extract that will continue to get better over time. And I still have about 12 beans to use for other purposes. (Be sure to appropriately seal and store any left overs.) This means it cost me under $0.70 usd per ounce from organic Madagascar beans and whiskey from a manufacturer I trust. The cheapest I can currently find as of today for similar is $4.50 usd per ounce. Things to remember: Vanilla Beans are from a plant. No two beans are alike. The bean size and plumpness will vary. Be attentive to the grade of beans you purchase. These are Grade B beans, some will be slim or even split – That is normal. Takeaways: Whether you are crafting homemade extract, making an infusion, vanilla sugar, or enhancing the flavor of a dish, these beans are stellar! Plus, they are organic, vacuum-sealed for freshness and – dare I say – add a little luxe to your pantry without breaking the bank. If you are looking for authentic, quality beans, these deliver in spades.

This is the fourth year of making my own vanilla extract. The first time I used vodka, then brandy, then rum. I like both the aroma best with brandy or rum, stopped using vodka. It makes a nice color, wonderful extract. Is perfect with baking projects. Did a picture, larger bottle just started, other one last ou last year's brew. Yum!

Suggested by a baking friend. Used to begin making my own vanilla extract. Smells amazing and looking forward to trying my extract with this product in December. Product was very fresh when opening the very well sealed package. Smelled the aroma immediately

Looks plump and lots of seeds. Taste great.

These are lovely Madagascar vanilla beans, the crème de la crème of vanilla beans and the most desired for extracts. With their lower moisture content than Grade A beans, they are perfect for extract since your extract liquid (in our case vodka) won't have to work as hard to pull the essence out. When I received the package, as soon as I opened the box, I could smell the beans aroma, even though they were vacuum packed. Once the package was opened I counted them out (26 as advertised) weighed them (1.6 ounces) and started the process of bottling them. Please note that these beans are drier than Grade A beans and as such, it is not recommended to split them to scrape the "caviar" (seeds) out. Instead, cut them in half before you place them in the bottle. I recommend Boston Round bottles in amber to help block the light so that the extract won't lose it's potency. If you want the caviar, then I recommend you spend a few bucks more to buy the Grade A beans. Once you have them in the bottle, cover them with your alcohol of choice. I used 80 proof vodka, but you can also use rum, whiskey or pure grain alcohol mixed with distilled water to 40 percent strength. The flavor of the final product will be different if you use rum or whiskey. After you have your bottles sealed, cap them and put them up in a cool dark place. It is recommended to let shake the bottles every 3-5 days until they are at the desired strength. Please note that this is NOT an instant gratification product. The longer they stay in the liquid, the better the flavor will be. I used Madagascar beans last spring for sale this fall with a one year aging process, and I have to admit that the wait was worth it. The aroma and flavor is so much better than commercial vanilla products. and much more economical as well per ounce. I will be ordering some more next month so that I can start a batch every month. I always sell out of the vanilla each year and with these beans, I expect to do so next year as well. 5 stars JPL

I have made vanilla and also home-made Amaretto liqueur with these beans and the flavor is great. I gave this only 4 stars because I was a little disappointed with the size of the beans - they are quite small compared to others I have purchased.

Great product! Really fresh and smelled amazing. Will buy again.

First, since I didn't see it listed anywhere in the product info - my order of 26 beans worked out to right about 2oz on the nose. Just like the majority of the other reviews, I bought these for a vanilla extract starter batch. The beans are solid quality and just made my whole home smell amazing as I split everything up for soaking. No complaints at all.

Finding high-quality vanilla beans for making homemade extracts can be a massive gamble. Many bulk packages arrive completely dried out, brittle, or lacking the complex aromatic oils required to throw a deep flavor into a liquor infusion. This 26-pack of Grade B Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans from FITNCLEAN is absolutely perfect for my homemade extract. They produce a rich, dark, and incredibly fragrant results that completely elevate any baking project. Grade B Extraction Optimization: While Grade A beans are typically prized for their plump appearance for scraping caviar directly into frostings, Grade B beans are the absolute industry standard for clean extract processing. Because they carry a slightly lower moisture profile by design, the concentrated vanilla flavors are highly dense. They absorb alcohol beautifully, releasing a massive, pure vanilla profile without watering down your master batch. Pristine Packaging & Organic Quality: FITNCLEAN has executed top-tier quality control with this bulk allotment. The beans arrive beautifully vacuum-sealed in heavy-duty food-grade packaging, locking in the essential oils so they remain supple and deeply aromatic on your pantry shelf. They are 100% Certified Organic, non-GMO, and free of any chemical treatments, ensuring your homemade vanilla extract remains entirely pure. Pros: Highly dense Grade B profile is perfectly optimized for rich homemade vanilla extract infusions. Certified Organic and non-GMO pods guarantee absolute purity for your baking meditation. Strong vacuum packaging preserves essential oils, keeping beans perfectly supple. Generous 26-bean bulk allotment delivers outstanding value compared to retail grocery jars. Cons: These are explicitly Grade B beans meant for infusing liquid extracts—if you are looking for massive, wet pods to scrape a cup of fresh paste directly into a single dish, you'll want to grab Grade A beans instead! Verdict: A flawless, high-utility baking component that offers phenomenal quality and unbeatable value. If you treat baking as your personal meditation and want to craft a world-class homemade extract investment, this bulk pack is a mandatory addition.

Muy buena calidad de vaina

Business ship to Australia, The beans were juicy and thick. Beans had the most amazing smell coming out of the packing box! Will be purchasing again in future.

Great. Lots of flavour.

First time buying vanilla beans, so I am not entirely sure what to expect, but these seemed perfect for my homemade vanilla extract. I got a 12 pack of Amber Bottles and had enough beans to fill all. There was not 26 beans in the package I received, there was 29- a nice surprise! They were moist, and smelled delicious! They aren't huge, though accurate size in description.
