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.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0a0a0a;\"\u003eTraditionally Cured Gourmet Nicaraguan Planifolia Vanilla Beans from Latest Vanilla Crop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #0a0a0a;\"\u003eAverage Length: Approximately 5 - 7 Inches ( 15 cm – 20 cm) *Beans of this origin often display a broader range in length adding to their unique natural character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0a0a0a;\"\u003eColor \u0026amp; Texture: Lighter Brown, Velvety Texture, Oily, Full of Black Vanilla Seeds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0a0a0a;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIf you have any more questions, be sure to check out our\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vanillabeankings.com\/pages\/vanilla-f-a-q\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVanilla FAQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003efor all the answers!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vanilla Bean Kings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45194348691526,"sku":"CO-OP Nicaragua Planifolia Grade A - 1 OZ","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/7049\/files\/VBKNicaraguaPlantifolia-05621_b1c2ed9f-656e-464e-ae61-a481a52007d1.jpg?v=1781787583","url":"https:\/\/www.vanillabeankings.com\/products\/co-op-nicaragua-planifolia-grade-a","provider":"Vanilla Bean Kings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
