MADAGASCAR RED SPLITS "Best Quality Extract Beans on the Market!"
We have just gotten in a new shipment including a large quantity of “red split” Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans. These absolutely phenomenal, exceptionally long Extract Grade beans have an especially high vanillin content, having been left on the vines so long before picking that the pod ends have split from the profusion of seeds, or “caviar” inside. They have then been cured and dried specifically for making vanilla extract - the reddish-brown hue of the beans being characteristic of Madagascar Bourbon planifolia vanilla beans when they are dried down to extract grade moisture content.
In our opinion, these are the finest extract-grade vanilla beans you will find on the market anywhere - bar none!

Lengths and Beans Per Pound: Our super premium quality XXL Madagascar “red split” extract grade beans are EXTREMELY LONG and extremely high in vanillin content by extract-grade standards, ranging from 18.5cm - 21+cm lengths (~ 7¼+"- 8¼+"). Extra/Super Long “red split” beans range from 16.5cm - 18cm lengths (~ 6½"- 7+"), and Long length “red splits” from 15cm - 16cm lengths (~ 6"- 6¼+"). Because the lengths and particularly the moisture content vary in these Super Premium Extract Grade vanilla beans, we cannot precisely gauge how many beans you will get per pound. We can guarantee you will get more extract grade vanilla beans per pound than for gourmet beans —as much as double the number— because the extract grade beans have a lower moisture content, and therefore each vanilla bean weighs less than a similar size gourmet bean. When making homemade vanilla extract, you should go by the weight of the beans per volume of liquid, not the number of beans.

OUR HIGH QUALITY EXTRACT GRADE 1 VANILLA BEANS FROM INDONESIA
These terrific, extract grade 1 vanilla beans come from Indonesia, where the quality has improved so much over the years that their annual world exports are now approaching those of Madagascar. These very high-quality beans are the same planifolia-variety vanilla beans as so-called Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar—so they have the same super-high-quality flavor profile in an extraction-grade bean. With their lower moisture content, the beans even weigh less, so you get more beans per pound.
Lengths and Beans Per Pound: Our premium quality Indonesia extract grade beans are long and high in vanillin content by extract-grade standards, ranging from 16cm - 19cm lengths (~ 6¼"-7½").

We can guarantee you will get more extract grade vanilla beans per pound than for gourmet beans—perhaps as much as double the number—because extract grade beans have a lower moisture content, and therefore each vanilla bean weighs less than a similar size gourmet bean.

Try the Exotic Flavor of Tahitian Vanilla Beans!
We are thrilled to be able to offer these Premium-Quality Grade B (Extract) Tahitian-type beans for making homemade vanilla extract. These vanilla beans are grown in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and are a high-quality, but far-lower-cost alternative to Tahitian tahitensis beans. These superb beans are relatively long lengths (14cm-15cm ~ 5.5" - 6+") –unlike most very short Grade B beans carried by other suppliers– and have that exotic island flavor that is unique to vanilla tahitensis beans. They are prized by gourmet chefs for their fragrant, somewhat fruity flavor profile. Try making your home made vanilla extract with our PNG tahitensis beans for a fabulous complement to your baking or pastry recipes. Or mix with our Madagascar Bourbon Red Split vanilla beans to make your own blended vanilla extracts or vanilla sugar–they are phenomenal!
