However, due to the in store price, I decided to try other alternatives. And I am thankful that I did! The beans exceeded my expectations and were better in value and quality than most I have purchased in my grocery store.The beans came fresh and moist in a vacuum sealed package. The aroma was so intense that I could smell it through the packaging.Once I opened the packaging, the rich sweet smell of vanilla was magnified through my kitchen. As advertised, most of my beans were between 5-6 ins; however a few of them were about 7 inches. They were fleshy, soft and moist with brown vanilla oil. When I opened the pods, I found a good amount of vanilla caviar which made a great addition to my cupcake frosting.They are truly high quality and potent. I ended up using the spent pod to flavor my creamer. I am already planning on buying more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good beans. *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019* These beans are very good, moist but not soggy, medium sized and not fat, juicy ones I've purchased in the past. I paid $3 for each bean, which is the most that I have paid, ever, for vanilla beans, a 10-pack for $30. I am making vanilla extract with them and will update after a month and then after 6 months. I just put them in a 1.75 liter of Wolfschmidt 80 proof vodka and put it in the lower cabinet. Will shake it every week. Should be ok after a month and great after 6 months. We will see. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Fresh Vanilla Beans *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019* These vanilla beans were incredibly fresh and well packed! Homemade vanilla extract in progress now. The vodka base is quite dark and already has a strong vanilla aroma and taste after only ~ 1 week of starting the process. The process I used is as follows.Divided the beans evenly (by weight) between 2 x 1000ml (~34 fl. oz) bottles. (search: "leak proof bottles with metal clamp and silicone stopper"). Pre-bottling process was to cut the beans long wise from stem to stern with a good sharp knife so the vanilla caviar (that's what they call it, heh) didn't spill out. Don't cut through the entire bean front to back, just a slit on one side like you'd slice open (gut) a fish, for example. Then I cut the beans in half to fit into the bottle with plenty of extra room for mixing during the shake process. Added Smirnoff vodka (but I understand almost any vodka will do) and done......well almost. Now it's just a matter of shaking the bottle at least once a week for 3-6 months then I'll have plenty of the best vanilla extract money can buy. And no water added like some 'pure vanilla' extracts. I may have to filter the extract thru a coffee filter once at the end, just to get any stray vanilla seeds out but this won't be a big deal. If you try this out, good luck and enjoy! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/144661467-madagascar-vanilla-beans-gourmet-bourbon-grade-a-great-for-baking](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/144661467-madagascar-vanilla-beans-gourmet-bourbon-grade-a-great-for-baking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
