 Our beans are triple inspected throughout the beans journey from Uganda to the United States. First, they are inspected by our farmers who have hundreds of years of wisdom and experience growing these gourmet pods.  The second inspection is before bulk vacuum sealing for transport and to ensure no mold has developed. The final inspection is done at our warehouse moments before packing your shipment. We check the smell, quality, and appearance if any mold has developed a final time. Once all of these are checked, we vacuum seal our vanilla beans in our beautiful custom industrial vacuum pouch to a tight 28 HG vacuum.

  • Traditionally Cured Gourmet Planifolia Vanilla Beans from 2023-2024 Crop
  • Average Length: Approximately 4 – 7 Inches (13 cm – 16 cm)

Storage: Vacuum packed/sealed bag preferred to ensure fresh beans otherwise wrapped in zip lock bag inside an air tight container such as a glass jar. Shelf Life of approximately 2 years if properly vacuum sealed.

Great condition as always, but Check the weight

I love the Uganda beans and have ordered them several times. This time I ordered 4oz to follow chart for making extract. I didn’t have jar to make it as one batch so decided to split it. Weighed the beans to split in two batches. It only weighed 3 3/4 oz. The beans are plumb and oily in great condition so know complaints with quality. I only make extract for myself so 1/8 oz less in each jar so no biggie for personal use but somewhat miffed.
