Organic Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans (Grade A) are exceptional ingredients that infuse baked goods, cooked dishes, sauces, fillings, frostings, ice cream, and more with a classic rich, creamy, buttery vanilla flavor. They can be used whole or just the seeds, depending on the desired result. Many culinary experts prefer Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans over other varieties due to their versatile taste and aroma that complement various ingredients. Use organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans to create delectably flavored desserts like custards, ice creams, puddings, cakes, cookies, and more. You can also use them to add a creamy, buttery vanilla note to savory sauces and cooked dishes.

Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Beans have a long and slender appearance, with a deep black, oily skin. Bean count varies by weight and time of year. Approximately 23-27 beans are in 1/4 lb, 45-55 in 1/2 lb, and 90-110 in 1 lb. You can substitute one vanilla pod for one teaspoon of vanilla extract in recipes. Store the beans in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat, and they will remain fresh for up to 3 years. No need to refrigerate or freeze them unless during very hot weeks in summer.

Note: The term "Bourbon" refers to the Planifolia strain from Reunion Island, not the alcoholic beverage. OliveNation's Organic Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans do not contain alcohol or bourbon whiskey.
