Cook’s, Madagascar Organic Vanilla Beans, Grade A, World’s Finest Gourmet Fresh Premium Vanilla, 8 oz (1/2 lb) Whole Beans

<p>Organic Madagascar Gourmet Vanilla Beans from a 100-year-old family business specializing in vanilla since 1918. Lustrous hand-cured and hand-selected vanilla beans from the chief source of the world’s best-quality vanilla. Nothing is plain about these pods. Each vanilla bean is more than 5.5 inches (15-16 cm) long, packed with gorgeous black seeds and plump with its correct moisture content, unlike the dried-out beans you often see in supermarkets. These are the dominant planifolia variety, as distinguished from the shorter, drier Tahitian bean.</p><p>Fabulous in creamy desserts such as homemade ice cream and creme brulee, white cakes and baked goods, as well as fancy savory dishes. The first choice of top chefs.</p><p>Each black pod is the result of painstaking craftsmanship, nurtured by hand start to finish, hand pollinated and sun-cured over many months, with careful inspection at each step. We select only fully ripe, late harvest beans. They are sourced directly from our village cooperatives to assure quality and a fair price to farmers.</p><p>Cook’s is a family owned and operated business established a century ago to provide fine vanilla to American households. Now in our fourth generation, we are on the ground in the world’s vanilla growing regions, personally selecting the world’s best vanilla.</p><p>Store in a tightly closed glass jar to retain moisture. Suggested Usage: Split bean lengthwise and scrape seeds from the interior to flavor your recipes and creations. Add a pod to infuse your sugar with the divine vanilla flavor or make your own vanilla extract.</p>
