Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Beans

Gluten-Free

For the purest vanilla flavor and a presentation that showcases vanilla’s characteristic flecks, go straight for the beans. Our Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Beans are black, glossy, moist and supple. They’re loaded with tiny caviar-like seeds, each one bursting with rich vanilla aroma and taste. Some recipes call for splitting the bean (see below) and using only the seeds, others call for using the bean itself. Both bean and seeds can be recycled for another sweet treat: Rinse and dry after using a few times and bury vanilla beans in 1-2 cups of granulated or confectioner’s sugar and cover. After a few weeks, you will have delicious vanilla sugar to use in your espresso and your cookie and cake recipes (1 tbsp. vanilla sugar=1/4 tsp. vanilla extract). You can also substitute vanilla beans for vanilla extract (one vanilla bean=one tbsp. vanilla extract). Store vanilla beans in a cool air-tight container; do not refrigerate. How to Cut A Vanilla Bean: Lay the bean flat on wax paper (so you don’t lose any precious seeds) on a cutting surface. Carefully cut at the center, then cut toward each end. Once the bean is split open, scrape the tiny seeds out with the blade of the knife. (By cutting the bean open before placing it in a liquid, more of the surface of the bean is exposed, intensifying the flavoring properties.) Optional first step: Soften the bean by steaming for a minute or two. Free Shipping on this item.

	Vanilla Beans The beans are very good quality and the price per pound is a good value.
	Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Beans I will be away before I have a chance to use the beans. However, I am already enjoying them. Even before the carton was opened, the wonderful aroma was present. After opening the box, the intense vanilla scent perfumed the room. Looking forward to outstanding desert and other recipes using these beans. Thank you.

	Excellent Service and Quality My order of vanilla beans was shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived within two days. I am very happy with the quality of the beans and would definitely recommend OliveNation to others.
	Best Vanilla Beans! Searched all over and found nothing elsewhere but 2 dried up beans for 3 times the cost. Will buy these again.
