I made Homemade vanilla bean ice cream, these beans are fresh, smell amazing, taste great not overly dry, texture is perfect. The Great quality I look for, iwill purchase again, they're packaged in a small enough quantity you can buy them every time you start to get low of them.

I use these with spiced rum to make vanilla extract. It’s so much better than store bought and makes a great gift.

They're a little bit smaller than I expected, but they still taste nice. I've been able to make quite a bit of vanilla custard, vanilla vodka and vanilla extract with them.

This is an updated review for my most recent purchase, April 2025.I have been buying my extract grade vanilla beans from FitNClean for the last couple of years but Amazon was out of stock of that brand so I ordered these from Vanilla Products. They are definitely smaller and drier than those I got from the other company There were still 4oz of beans in the package, it just took several more beans to reach that weight. They've only been on vodka for 24 hours so I cannot tell yet if the extract will be as strong but I'll update this review if the extract isn't as good as I require for my candy.Okay, if this was February 2016 I'd be very angry about paying $23 for these tiny little beans but it is 2018 and vanilla is in the middle of a worldwide shortage. When many vendors are asking $10 for a single bean I cannot complain too loudly.To begin the beans are quite small, barely 4" long and skinny. The 10 of them in this packet weighed just over 0.5oz. Luckily I still had two normal size beans left from before the shortage or I wouldn't have enough for a batch of extract.Everything is not bad news, though, because the beans were by no means dry - they were quite moist and sticky with a wonderful flavor and aroma. I am confident these beans will, with my two older Madagascar beans, make a usable extract. If for some reason they don't I'll report back in a couple of months.

I made homemade vanilla with these. They seemed to be good quality. They where thick, fresh, and good size. The seal was good.

I've made 3 large jars od vanilla extract so far and have plenty left. Like this brand. Will buy again!

AMAZING so far. I got these to make vanilla Extract . I wish they were a little more plump but they smell great even a little sticky but so far happy with my purchase and will be buying again.
