As an essential ingredient for making crème brûlée, vanilla ice cream, and many other dishes, nothing beats a quality vanilla bean. Some recipes call for splitting the bean and using only the tiny black vanilla seeds contained in the bean. Place used and dried vanilla beans in a few cupfuls of sugar. After a few days, you will have delicious vanilla sugar to use in your cookie and cake recipes.

Just not good Aug 28, 2010 I'm really confused because I see everyone else giving these vanilla beans excellent reviews which is why I ordered them. I could tell they were off as soon as I opened the packaging. They had a smokey odor to them and the flavor was completely off. Certainly not something I would add to ice cream or other desserts.
Maybe I received a bad batch. They went into the garbage.
Great vanilla beans! Aug 15, 2010 The vanilla beans were fresh and very flavorful. Shipping was FAST! Will buy again!
Excellent for cooking and home made ice cream Aug 08, 2010 These are great for cooking. These beans were very robust and full of the delicious black dots that now float among the eggs and cream in my ice cream mixture. I may end up investing in a new ice cream maker. I like to drink, and vanilla smoothies is sounding pretty good right now. I'd pay triple the price for the quality of these beans...but heck, I'm not complaining about less than a dollar a bean. Now I don't have to feel guilty about using an entire bean, hooray! I had long since been buying beans from the local farmers market, $5 for 2 beans was a super good deal to me. When I moved, my new location didn't have a farmers market supplying me with fresh beans anymore...Amazon to the rescue! I read the other reviews and didn't quite believe the hype - how different can vanilla beans be? The ones I had been getting were great, how much better can it get?
Dont hestitate to order these vanilla beans!!!! Jul 25, 2010 I wanted some vanilla beans to make my own vanilla flavoring. The price of vanilla beans was very high in my small east Texas town and they did not look that fresh. After reading reviews on Amazon of these beans I decided to purchase them. Wow! When I opened the package the smell was unbelievable and the beans were not dried out. I was very impressed and would order these again!
Excellent Jul 20, 2010 They are wonderfully aromatic, not at all dried out, and contain more seeds than any beans you can buy in a store at a much better price.
