SPICEEL Madagascar Vanilla Beans Whole Grade A Vanilla Pods for Making Extract, Whole 5" - 7" Vanilla Beans for Baking, 6 Counts

I usually buy vanilla beans from the store, but this was my first time ordering online—and I’m so glad I did! I used them to make homemade vanilla ice cream, and the flavor and aroma were rich, warm, and authentic. The pods were thick, moist, and packed with seeds, showing how fresh and high-quality they were. They were easy to use, as you can scrape and add a deep, natural vanilla taste. Honestly, way better than store-bought extract. Great value and a new favorite for my baking needs!

I was kind of iffy when buying these vanilla beans, cause all the reviews are from an old listing for ramen. I had no idea if they would be good or if they would be all dried out and break like a chip. So imagine my surprise and excitement when the vanilla beans arrived and they were so aromatic that I could smell them through the white bubble mailer. You can feel the plump tender beans through the package.When I opened the package they were definitely very good quality. They are not dried out whatsoever. The beans are pliable, plump and stuffed with caviar seeds. After opening the vanilla and making a quick batch of vanilla sugar, I was very impressed.I know when I was searching Amazon to find the best deal on beans, I was curious as to how many ounces the 25 beans would weigh. Unfortunately, I didnt think to weigh the package before I opened it, but after using only 1 vanilla bean out of the package for the sugar (and not taking the beans out of the package, so keep in mind the weight of the package is included), the package weighs 3.35 oz. So I took 1 bean out to weigh the package again, to try to see an estimate of what 1 bean weighed, and with that 1 bean out, there was a 0.10 oz difference. (And omg, look at all that vanilla liquid just from touching the bean!). So 25 beans weighs roughly 3 oz of vanilla beans. I paid $19 for it, which comes out to just over $6.50 an ounce which I think is a great deal!I immediately got on amazon and bought another package. And I will 100% repurchase again in the future when I need more high quality vanilla beans. Im so glad I took a chance on these!!A+UPDATE 11-11-24: My second package of vanilla beans arrived today, and I took all the beans out of the package and weighed them, and that bundle of 25 beans weighed 3.45oz without the package. (Sorry I didnt get a picture, as I was making vanilla bean paste at the time - which by the way came out absolutely DELICIOUS, I used the remaining vanilla bean paste left in the blender to make the most decadent vanilla bean and banana smoothie). 10 out if 10 reccomend!

I like these beans because of their great moisture content, fantastic flavor and aroma.

The Madagascar vanilla beans came in a well sealed package. They are moist, smooth and the aroma smells amazing! They are easy to use by just removing them from the package and placing in the bottle you are making your vanilla in. These are a great value for your money.

Good quality Vanilla Beans about 6 - 7 inches long. They seemed fresh and came vacuum sealed. After cutting the ends off, they were the perfect size to fit in a 5 oz. bottle. They smell great and the extract seems tasty at this point.

I have bought these and other beans a few times to make homemade vanilla and they have never disappointed. Every time they come, they are not dried out. The smell is great and they make great quality vanilla if you want to use them for just the seeds inside those are also, good quality have used that a few times when making homemade ice cream and the flavor is great would definitely recommend

Good deal compared to in-shop CA ridiculous prices! Very beautiful scent, plenty of seeds. Scrape a few in coffee adds antibacterial element. Throw the scraped pods in a bottle of purified water in the fridge to make some extra vanilla liquid, scrape a bit in homeade white bread recipe, divine. Much better to scrape than use seeds sitting in some weird gel in a jar.

These are great, love the aroma. Package was great item was great. I used these to make my own vanilla. They are bathing in vodka right now. I sliced them down the middle and soaked for a day, then I squeezed the caviar out after a day bath and they vanilla caviar came out easily. I highly recommend trying this brand and will purchase again and again. Thank you.
