25 Split Extract Grade B Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans 5~6″

Description

“Splits” are often preferred by large producers of vanilla extract because
they usually have a higher vanillin content. Splitting can occur during
growing or curing. They are not “used” beans. Non-split beans are known as
whole beans. These beans are excellent for making vanilla extract. For
cooking, where you want to split the beans and/or scrape out the caviar, you
should use Grade A Gourmet vanilla beans. Our beans are traditionally cured
over several months to ensure that the full flavor of the vanilla bean is
developed. We do not sell quick cured vanilla beans where the beans are cured
in 7 to 10 days. These vanilla beans are triple inspected. The first
inspection takes place during packing and is for smell, appearance, and mold.
The next inspection takes place during vacuum sealing and is for mold and
appearance. The final inspection takes place before shipment to ensure that
the vacuum seal is intact and that there is no mold. Some facts about vanilla
beans: – Bourbon refers to the formerly named Bourbon Islands (now Reunion)
off of Madagascar. Bourbon alcohol is not used in vanilla beans. – Vanilla
beans are the second most labor intensive spice after saffron. – They
originated in Mexico. – Vanilla beans must be hand pollinated outside of
Mexico because the pollinator, the Melipona bee, cannot survive outside of
Mexico. – When the vanilla orchid blooms, it must be pollinated within 24
hours or else the boom dies and no vanilla pod is produced for that bloom. –
Vanilla is an orchid, and the beans are the fruit of the orchid. – It is the
only orchid fruit that we eat. – There are over 200 organic compounds in
vanilla. Artificial vanilla (vanillin) cannot capture the complexity of
natural vanilla.
