1/2 lb (8 ounces) Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans Extract Grade B Splits FREE SHIPPING!
These are grown in Madagascar. "Splits" are often preferred by the larger vanilla extract makers because they usually have a higher vanillin content than whole beans. These are not "used" beans - they split on the vine or during curing. Great for making vanilla extract (8 ounces of beans will make one quart of vanilla extract) or vanilla sugar. They are not suitable for scraping out the caviar (nor are extract grade B whole beans). A note about organic vanilla beans: In order to use the word 'organic' in labeling or advertising (this would include the title of an auction), the product must be certified organic and registered with the USDA. You can check the USDA's database: http://apps.ams.usda.gov/nop/ We have not been able to find most of the sellers claiming to sell organic vanilla beans that are listed on the USDA's database.
