Organic Vanilla Beans

Simply cut down the center of your vanilla beans (take a deep breath and enjoy the aroma!), split the pod open, and scrape the inside from one end to the other with a spoon. Use 1 full bean of scrapped vanilla seeds in recipes calling for 2 tbsp, or adjust the amount you scrape from the seed to match whatever your recipe calls for...

Organic Vanilla Beans are more expensive because of the labor-intensive process that is required to grow, cure and package them in an environmentally sustainable way. Organic vanilla farming requires extensive certifications and is a costly endeavor due to the time it takes for the crop to mature, and extra care is taken when it comes to using organic agroforestry practices. The resulting product is often thought to be superior in flavor, but it's also something you can feel good about, and we believe it is worth the extra cost.

Want to make Organic Vanilla Extract at home? It's a fun project and using Organic Vanilla beans ensures you're not getting any nasty chemicals in your final product. The best part? It requires just a few simple ingredients: Organic Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Beans, a glass jar, and your favorite spirit (vodka or rum). Simply split the bean and drop the pod into your glass jar, top it off with your chosen alcohol, seal the lid, and store it in a cool dark place for at least 4 weeks. Shake it every so often to mix it up and agitate the vanilla beans.
