Native Vanilla Grade A Tahitian Vanilla Beans – 25 Premium Gourmet Whole Pods – For Chefs and Home Baking, Cooking, & Extract Making – Homemade Vanilla Extract
Brand: Native Vanilla
Native Vanilla beans bring a tantalizingly delicious flavor and aroma to any recipe. Our Sepik Export Gourmet Tahitian Vanilla is hand-selected from the finest curing processes by our micro-farmer cooperative in Papua New Guinea and are certified Grade A, premium-quality vanilla beans. These beans are visually attractive and can be used as a feature ingredient in gourmet cuisine, adding a smooth rich background taste – or you can just add it to a mug of hot chocolate, coffee, or tea for added richness. Store the fresh vanilla beans in an airtight container, preferably a glass jar. Keep them away from heat and in a dark place such as a pantry or dark cabinet. Do not refrigerate the beans, as this can cause them to mold. Once you split the vanilla pods open with a knife or kitchen scissors and scrape out the vanilla seeds, put the leftover pods in sugar to make vanilla sugar.
GRADE A BEANS – These beans are hand selected with the finest curing process and are vacuum sealed for freshness. They measure 6-8 inches long, are plump, oily, black/dark brown, and 30-35% moist.
TAHITIAN VANILLA – Tahitensis vanilla is rarer than the Madagascar variety and is infinitely more versatile, providing the best option for cooking, desserts, beverages, and ice cream.
SMOOTH TASTE – These beans add a smooth rich background taste, and can be used to balance sauces for shellfish, chicken, and veal, or soften dairy flavors in desserts.
EASY TO STORE – Store the beans in a tightly sealed airtight container, ideally a glass jar. Keep away from heat, and do not refrigerate.
ETHICALLY SOURCED – Native Vanilla assists hundreds of micro farmers in Papua New Guinea with fair trade assistance, and maintains a commitment to growing practices that are environmentally friendly.
