## Description

Product description          Vanilla planifolia otherwise known as Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, named after 2 islands in the Indian ocean noted for cultivating the crop. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is by far the most popular of the 3 cultivated vanilla species - Vanilla planifolia, Vanilla tahitiensis and Vanilla pompona. Vanilla bean pods are graded after they are harvested, conditioned and ready for use. The grading is based on moisture content, length of the pod and lack of dehiscence/wholesomeness of appearance. High moisture content, long, oily and dark seed pods with no splits/dehisces are given the highest grade, A, the Gourmet grade. The Gourmet grade/Prime grade/Grade A, typically has about 30% moisture content, are 5” or longer and 1lb contains between 100 -120 pods. The grade B beans have about 15-25% moisture content, may have some blemishes and 1lb contains about 140-160 bean pods. The conditioned fruit seed pod with the vanilla flavor houses thousands of tiny, black seeds. The pods and the seeds are both useful for culinary purposes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone tell me if 12 vanilla beans will be enough for one 1.75 liter bottle of vodka to make vanilla?**
A: By FDA standards “Pure extract” is 100g of vanilla beans for 1 liter of alcohol. 12 Grade A Gourmet Madagascar vanilla beans weighs between 45 - 50g. So 1.75 liter is way too much for 12 beans. Use about 0.6 liter for high quality extraction

**Q: I just purchased these Madagascar vanilla beans to make my own extract since these are already pre-soaked in bourbon can I still use them**
A: The beans are NOT pre-soaked. No vanilla beans is pre-soaked in alcohol. The “Bourbon” in the title is referencing the curing system used to condition the beans and the source. It has nothing to do with the alcohol bourbon.  Madagascar and Bourbon (French Reunion) are small islands in the pacific and they use a very unique labor-intensive conditioning and curing process with a characteristic strong aroma. That process is referred to as Bourbon, named after the then island Bourbon, before the name was changed to French Reunion.

**Q: What’s the best way to store unused beans?**
A: Vacuum seal them and store store in a cool dry place like your kitchen cabinets or pantry. Don’t refrigerate. If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, store in a ziplock bag or mason jar. But bear in mind that they will dry up with time if it’s not vacuum sealed.

**Q: Approximately how many beans are in one ounce?**
A: It all depends on the size of the bean pods. For 6-7" full-size bean pods it's possibly going to be between 8-10 pods, give or take. If they are a bit skinny or short (~5.5"), then maybe about 12.
