Vanilla Bean Kings 25 Organic Madagascar Beans. Whole Grade A Pods for Extract and Baking

I cook from scratch often and use a lot of vanilla bean paste, so I wanted to try making my own. These vanilla pods arrived well packaged and in excellent condition. The color was a rich, moist brown with no signs of dryness or mold. They felt fresh and pliable, which was reassuring. The pods were a bit firm to cut with a standard kitchen knife and required a little extra pressure, but once opened they worked perfectly. I was able to make a full mason jar of homemade vanilla paste, and the results were very impressive. The aroma was strong and the flavor was rich and smooth. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. The quality exceeded my expectations and the quantity makes it a great value for the money. If you enjoy baking or cooking from scratch, these vanilla beans are an excellent choice and I would absolutely recommend purchasing them.

Product was fine but it took Over 2 weeks to get here.

These are the only vanilla beans I use for baking and making homemade extract. The beans always stay hydrated in the packaging and have a strong vanilla flavor and smell.

Fabulous product at a very good price! So fresh!

If I had not made an earlier purchase of beans directly from the company, I would be satisfied with this purchase. Because i did previously order, i did not read any of the reviews here. The sale price was good, the shipping was slightly faster and beans seemed to be soft and fresh...I maybe should've read the reviews. The beans, altho decent, were not the long, fat beans I received when I ordered direct. These beans were small and thin; all together, they weighed just 2 oz. The beans ordered direct weighed 3. That's a whole cup of vanilla right there. I will order from company going forward.
