Slofoodgroup Gourmet Vanilla Beans, 8 Ounces Grade A Ugandan Vanilla Pods, Vanilla Beans For Cooking, Baking and Homemade Vanilla Extract

So, I normally order from someone else but decided to give these vanilla pods a try since they were more economical compared to others. They are listed as vanilla planifolia from Bourbon. They do seem to be planifolia, but they are actually from Uganda. The flavor/ smell is a bit different from Bourbon ones-- more of a smell similar to vanilla + chocolate. However, I chose to give them 5 stars regardless because the pods were excellent. They were moist (not the most moist I've ever bought, but suitably so), had fairly consistent width and length (approx. 3/8" wide by 6-7" long) and yielded 2T. seeds when all 10 were scraped. Excellent pods. Flavor was siluitable for my purposes but could be a problem for others, depending on why they are purchasing the pods. It would be better if the seller didn't label them "Bourbon" as they were not grown on the Bourbon Isle.

Better quality than the beans from higher priced specialty sellers. Personally, I prefer Madagascar beans over Uganda beans. But that is a personal preference and doesn't degrade from these being excellent products. When purchasing these use either Vodka or grain Alcohol. Uganda beans don't pair well with dark or spiced alcohols.

These smelled great even through the vacuum seal. They are very large and plump beans, perfectly fit These 8oz bottles I'm using to make extract. There was about 48 beans in my 8oz package

I always wanted to make vanilla extraxt, but the beans were always so expensive. My friend told me to look on Amazon for them and I did and WOW , Slofoodgroup had the pest price for the beans I have ever saw. I ordered 2 , 25 beans. when I got them I was so impressed. They were plump and they smelt amazing , that was in august of this year. I made my extract, it's been only 21/2 months and everytime I open the jar it smells amazing!!!! So I just came back and order 2 more of your 25 beans in a pkg, to make small jars of vanilla for Christmas presants with instructions not to use for 4- 6 months. thank-you Slofoodgroop and amazon for a wonderful product.....Maggie scotta

In nobodies world are these beans grade A, but they are satisfactory for my needs. About 6 months ago, I bought 10 beans, and in 2 8 ounce amber glass bottles I placed 5 beans in each. I made a vanilla extract, and it turned out so well that I just had to do it again!! This time, I had a different game plan. The vanilla goes pretty quickly, so to combat this, I'm going to extract a larger quantity. I did the calculations, and if I buy 35 beans, that should be enough to fill an entire 64 ounce growler. I grabbed my favorite growler, ordered some size 6 rubber stoppers (because the growler caps don't work that great), and my favorite vodka (svedka, anything cheap really.) I split the vanilla beans down the middle (long-wise) using a sharp knife and then cut it in half short-wise. This gives me 4 pieces per bean. Add everything to the growler (it took 1 1/8 bottles of vodka to fill to the 64 oz line), and then let it stew for 2-4 weeks before use. Give it a shake every day, and before you know it, you'll have your own (relatively cheap) homemade vanilla extract. I love this stuff because it gives you the specks in vanilla frosting that you just don't get out of the imitation stuff.

These are pretty good quality vanilla beans. They came vacuum sealed in plastic, and it was easy to tell how fresh they were. I cut off the tip of one of the beans and stuck it in my mouth to get familiar with the taste. It was a subtle vanilla flavor, smooth, and slightly sweet. I cut the beans up into smaller pieces with a small serrated knife to use in my herbal tea blends. For everyday use, these vanilla beans are perfectly tasty and fresh. I'm sure there are higher quality beans out there, but this is good for normal use. For very special recipes and occasions, perhaps you may want a more potent, expensive kind. But for me this is exactly what I was hoping for.

These vanilla beans are some of the best I've seen. I typically buy beans to make homemade vanilla extract and this was my first time buying from this company. I could tell this was a high quality product once I opened the vacuum sealed bag and was hit with an unbelievable aroma. I still have a few more weeks until my extract is done but I can already tell it will be of higher quality than any extract purchased at local stores - and at a much better value. Fast delivery, well packaged and tasty.

I just received this today. I could smell it it outside the package. I usually use 5 beans per cup, but I don't think I will need that much. I been making a lot of vanilla the last 2 years and I can already tell these are some of the best beans I have received. They are wide and probably 7" long. I told myself that I have ordered enough beans for the year.....

Man benötigt sie zum Backen für sehr guten Geschmack. Auch der Preis Okay. Top

Ottima qualità profumati e morbidi perfetti x creme e dolci.

These vanilla pods are so good. They are soft and have a nice aroma unlike some of the super hard, old and slightly moldy types.

Diese Uganda - Vanille ist das Beste, was ich je gekauft habe. Ich habe sie für die Eisherstellung gebraucht und kann sie mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

sono un pasticciere per diletto , ma mi piace scegliere ottime materie prime per i mie dolci. come ben saprete le bacche di vaniglia non costano così poco. con questo prodotto, invece, sono riuscito a soddisfare le esigenze di qualità/prezzo. L'odore è intenso e il sapore è avvolgente. l'ho provato nelle chiffon cake, ma anche nei pan di spagna. Ottima resa. Consigliatissimo.
