The beans can also be used to infuse flavor into liquids like milk or cream. When purchasing vanilla beans, look for those that are plump and have a dark, rich color. Avoid beans that are dry, shriveled, or have any mold on them.

These vanilla beans were exceptionally well-packaged and fresh. Vanilla extract being manufactured at the moment. After only a week or so of the process, the vodka base is quite dark and has a distinct vanilla flavor and aroma. Here is the procedure I followed.The beans were evenly distributed (by weight) across the two 1000ml (34 fl oz) bottles. You can find leak-proof bottles with a metal clamp and a silicone cap by searching. To prevent the vanilla caviar (that's what they call it, heh) from spilling out during the pre-bottling process, the beans were chopped lengthwise from stem to stern with a good sharp knife. Just make a slit on one side of the bean, like you would when gutting a fish, rather than cutting through the entire bean from front to back. I divided the beans in half so they would fit inside the bottle with enough of room to mingle throughout the shaking procedure. Smirnoff vodka was then added, however I hear that any vodka will work.Okay, almost. Now all I have to do is shake the bottle for three to six months, at least once a week, and I'll have plenty of the greatest vanilla extract money can buy. And unlike some "pure vanilla" extracts, there is no water added. To remove any remaining vanilla seeds, I might need to run the extract through a coffee filter once at the very end, but this won't be a great concern. If you give it a shot, good luck and have fun!

These vanilla beans arrived in very good packaging. The package is printed with all the details about the beans' origins and is vacuum sealed! That was incredibly great of you! The exceptional quality of these beans became instantly clear when we opened the containers to prepare our extract. I was blown away by the scent alone, and I can't wait to see how well the extract works in 8 weeks! When the extract is ready, we will let you know how happy we are with our purchase. If you're unsure whether to purchase these or not, BUY THEM! You won't be let down! The cost is also incredible! The best I've yet to see! I appreciate you offering such a great product!

Using these to create a fresh batch of high-quality vanilla extract along with a different set. I created my first batch in 2012, and it's now virtually gone (enough to last until this batch is ready).I was surprised to learn how much vanilla beans have increased in price (over 12x since the previous batch). Fortunately, I don't need to make this very frequently. In essence, I create it for usage by my mum. If they will enjoy the quality, she provides some to other family members. On December 7, I began the batch, and on December 11, I added more beans and vodka. Be prepared to bottle it in six months (or so). Some of the split, but unscraped, bits will go into the 4 oz bottles I currently have. In this manner, they will improve the longer they sit.

It smells very good! I love to use it nearly everywhere vanilla is called for! fantastic with ice cream and many other dishes. Sadly, this is not the case if you were anticipating a thick paste that would resemble tooth paste or something like. The texture is more akin to thick, thick syrup. But in my opinion, it has a nice consistency that mixes well with things like batter, whip cream, custard, ice cream, etc. Additionally, it contains the small vanilla bean seeds that are found in vanilla pods. Yes, there is sugar, water, vanilla extract, vanilla beans, and a natural thickener in the ingredients; but, if you don't like the additional sugar and water, you can always buy organic or create your own because it's pretty simple; I also enjoy making my own vanilla extract. Though I haven't yet, I will shortly try producing my own vanilla bean paste. This paste will therefore work excellently in the interim.

The smallest one was about 4-5" in size, but many were longer than anticipated. I divided them into equal pieces and placed them in a glass jar with 24 ounces of vodka. I then covered the jar with plastic wrap, screwed on the lid, and placed it in a dark closet, shaking it occasionally. It appeared dark very immediately, but a month later, it looks fantastic. Although it wasn't as powerful as I had wanted, the aroma of vanilla was still pleasant. It's difficult to imagine that $20 for 10 beans is a good deal, but at the market today, it was. I'm waiting longer to use it, but if it turns out to be less (or more) than I anticipated, I'll add to my evaluation. Overall, I would buy these again and suggest them.

I bought these beautiful, plump, fresh beans to manufacture premium vanilla extract. They were loaded with the lovely vanilla seed pulp that you love to scrape for pastry creams, decadent ice creams, or other vanilla bean products when I split them lengthwise. They are fairly moist and fresh because I didn't scrap them because I'm creating extract; instead, I split them lengthwise and dropped them straight into the vodka; within minutes the liquid was swarming with thousands of little flecks of vanilla bean. YUM! Only around 6 of the 25 beans matched the description's reduced size. About four of the beans were split or smashed, losing some of their "innards," and very few of the beans were narrow enough to make lengthwise splitting challenging. For these reasons, I deducted one point from the rating. But I will absolutely make another purchase from this vendor; I'm happy!

After the pricing got intolerable, I had trouble finding a replacement for Nielsen Paste. The majority of the available vanillas have favorable ratings and reviews. I bought them one by one and scowled at the hum drum flavor. even attempted returning to synthetic extract. The flavor competition was then decisively won by Blue Cattle.I'm on my third jar because of the exceptional flavor, which has me licking the measuring spoon. Because it has such a strong flavor, it is kept hidden to prevent haphazard family use. It exquisitely enhances a cup of tea or coffee. Smoothies frequently include it, as does the occasional Coke Cola.The chance to showcase Mexican Vanilla was provided by the Christmas cookie season. The simplicity of natural tastes come through when baking a straightforward King Arthur Flour recipe for vanilla cookies using organic flour, Turbinado natural cane sugar, Nestles white chocolate chips, and Blue Cattle vanilla bean paste. It was a cookie that appealed mostly to adult tastes and the flavors of long-gone, traditional neighborhood bakeries. The best cookie I've ever baked in the past 40 years, I promise. Thanks to Mexican Vanilla Bean Paste from "Blue Cattle Company."

fantastic value for the money. Be careful when pouring vanilla bean paste straight from the spout since it has a tendency to be sticky and may come out in globs. You can taste the excellent vanilla flavour it adds to everything it touches, and you can see the vanilla beans in every dish you cook with this paste. With this paste, a little goes a far way, so depending on how often you use it, 4 oz should last quite a time.

Good news thus far, I bought a number of jars of another brand (I won't mention the name here because I don't want people to think I'm a troll for that company) before making this purchase. I was pleasantly delighted to find that I needed less of this brand in my baking after taking the risk with this big jar and its steep price tag. This drastically reduces the cost and increases the purchase's efficiency. (Note: Other manufacturers' labels equate 1 TABLESPOON to 1 vanilla bean, while Heilala's label equates 1 teaspoon to 1 vanilla bean pod. I've discovered that in order to match a vanilla bean and achieve the same flavor in my baking, I need two tablespoons.)Overall, I'm satisfied that this jar is lasting me a while and that neither the taste nor the texture have changed for my customers.FINAL RESULT: A delicious flavor that improves my financial situation. I gave it just four stars, though, because I don't think the vanilla flavor is as potent as a Madagascar bean or paste, as the description says.

Absolutely stunning beans, however the vanilla-making instructions on the packaging may use some improvement. I know, I know, basic math, but please! The directions are in ounces, but my vodka bottle is in millilitres. The 25-bean container weighed roughly 3 ounces when I pulled out my scale. Then, I pulled out my 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup to see where the 750 milliliters—or around 3 cups, or 24 ounces—fell. Therefore, 25 beans are required to make vanilla from a regular-sized bottle of vodka. You won't ever want to use the terrible vanilla from the grocery again, aside from my math difficulties.
Yes, you can grow vanilla in the United States. Vanilla is a climbing orchid that is native to Mexico. The vanilla bean is the fruit of the vanilla orchid. The fruit is a long, greenish-yellow pod that contains tiny black seeds. The pod is picked when it is green and then it is cured in the sun or in an oven. The curing process turns the pod brown and gives it its characteristic flavor.
Vanilla bean is a popular flavoring for desserts, but it also has a reputation for promoting sleep. While there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, many people believe that vanilla bean has a calming effect that can help you fall asleep. If you're looking for a natural way to improve your sleep, you may want to try adding vanilla bean to your nightly routine.
No, vanilla does not raise blood pressure.
The scent of vanilla is known to have a calming and relaxing effect on the mind and body, which can help to improve mood and reduce stress levels. Vanilla is also thought to have antidepressant properties, which may help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Vanilla bean is different from vanilla in several ways. First, vanilla bean is the fruit of the vanilla orchid, while vanilla is a flavoring made from the bean. Second, vanilla bean is much more expensive than vanilla, due to the labor-intensive process of hand-pollinating the orchids. Finally, vanilla bean has a more complex flavor than vanilla, with notes of chocolate, caramel, and even tobacco.
You can use a vanilla bean to make vanilla extract multiple times. To do this, simply allow the bean to dry out between uses. Once it is dry, you can re-immerse it in vodka or another alcohol to extract the vanilla flavor again.
