Strongus Large Tahitian Vanilla Beans - Vacuum Sealed Grade A Vanilla Bean - Rich, Creamy Flavor & Aroma - Ingredients for Baking, Homemade Extract, Paste, Brewing, Coffee, Cooking - 5-6", 10-Pack

I recently got the 12-pack of Large Tahitian Vanilla Beans to make homemade vanilla ice cream, and I’m absolutely blown away by the results! These Grade A pods brought such a rich, creamy flavor and intoxicating aroma to my dessert that it tasted like something straight out of a gourmet ice cream shop. If you’re a baking enthusiast like me, these vanilla beans are an absolute treasure!Pros:• Incredible Flavor: The Tahitian vanilla beans gave my ice cream a deep, floral sweetness with a hint of fruitiness that you just can’t get from store-bought extract. It’s luxurious and totally worth the effort.• Plump and Fresh: Each bean arrived vacuum-sealed, moist, and bursting with oils—I split one open, and the seeds practically spilled out! They made scraping them into my custard base a breeze.• Perfect Size: At 6-8 inches long, these pods are generous, and I only needed two for a batch of ice cream. That leaves me 10 more for future recipes—what a great value for a 12-pack!• Versatile for More: Beyond ice cream, I’ve already saved the scraped pods to infuse sugar and plan to try them in coffee next. They’re inspiring me to get creative in the kitchen!• Aroma Heaven: The smell when I opened the package was unreal—sweet, creamy, and warm. It made the whole ice cream-making process feel like a treat.Cons:• Slightly Pricey Upfront: They’re not cheap compared to extract, but the quality and yield make them worth it. My ice cream turned out so good I’d happily pay again!• Requires Some Prep: If you’re new to using whole beans, splitting and scraping takes a little practice. I got the hang of it quickly, but it’s not as instant as pouring from a bottle.• Storage Learning Curve: They need to stay sealed or in an airtight container to keep fresh. I forgot one out overnight, and it dried out a bit—not a dealbreaker, just a heads-up.These Tahitian vanilla beans turned my homemade vanilla ice cream into a creamy, dreamy masterpiece that had my family begging for seconds. The rich flavor, premium quality, and versatility make this 12-pack a must-have for any home cook or baker. Five stars—I’m already planning my next batch!

These vanilla beans are plump and moist, with intoxicating aroma. Looking forward to making more vanilla extract with them!

Awesome great quality

These I opened right away because the sealed bag they came in had air in it so my thought was these sat in the warehouse for a while or it was not sealed completely. Their scent of vanilla is not as strong as the Beanilla I purchased years ago. In fact, I found a packet with 5 beans from beanilla which I didn’t realize I still had besides the ones in my glass jar. Anyway, just finished filling my first bottle with the Strongus Tahitian beans and making another with the Beanilla beans. We will see how they come out.These beans are shiny, oily and loaded with beans. Look and feel fresh but weak in scent/aroma. I love the scent and taste of Vanilla. Now we wait. 🥰

Moist and great quality. Make syrups with them but they would be good for anything needing vanilla. Great price.

Nice healthy beans. Not too dry. Came promptly. Will order again.

I made my first batch of homemade vanilla extract with these and it smells wonderful. I started the extract in April and I am going to be bottling it up for Christmas gifts here in the next couple of weeks. They smell amazing and it is going to be a staple in my pantry.

These beans have a delightful light fruity flavor that enhances homemade vanilla. Arrived well packaged to seal flavor, high quality, fresh, not dry at all. Highly recommend.
