Our beans are triple inspected throughout the beans journey from Madagascar 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.

  • Real extract grade B vanilla beans can contain blemishes, splits, or other natural imperfections but are the best for making a high quality vanilla extract.

Love these beans!

very brittle

Some of these were fine and able to be split but the vast majority of them were so thin and tiny they were not able to be split. Probably would not buy again and would try elsewhere. Overall, would not recommend purchasing.

Donna,
I'm very sorry you are not happy with the vanilla that you received. We try to be as upfront and transparent as possible in our listings so people understand what they are buying. The vanilla you purchased is Grade B vanilla, which is typically drier and smaller beans than the gourmet Grade A beans. Also, Grade B is mostly used for extract making purposes although some do try to cook with it. The A beans have a higher moisture content making them WAY easier to scrape the vanilla goodness out of them. We recommend giving our Grade A beans a try if you're wanting larger, fuller beans!

Easy shopping, fast shipping, and good quality.

This was my first time purchasing from Vanilla Bean Kings I purchased grade B Madagascar Vanilla beans to make my first batch of homemade vanilla. They smelled great and I look forward to trying my vanilla when it is ready.

Exceeded my expectations

These beans were PERFECT for extract making. Being drier, many had already split which made for a lot less work for me. The extract has only been "steeping" for a week or two and already smells and looks amazing. I can't imagine how good it will be in a year. I also love the magnet they sent with the amounts needed. Such a good little cheat sheet. I've already purchased more for extract and paste making! The alcohol - free extract is pictured so it's much lighter but still already so much darker than it was that first day

Good quality

These were good quality. A little uneven in size with some being quite thin. But overall they are good quality.

great quality

After ordering splits before I did my research, I ordered Grade B beans from the Kings - and wow - what a difference. These were exactly as described. They were easy to split myself and I understand dry is good for making vanilla extract but there were almost no seeds at all, and these were plump and full AND even cost less. I'm so impressed. I am having fun with vanilla and will continue to buy here.
