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!

Super Premium Madagascar Bourbon “Red Split” Vanilla Beans XXL EXTREME!™ CRAZY XX LONG EXTRACT-GRADE VANILLA BEANS [18.5cm - 21+cm lengths * ] You Have Never Seen Beans Like This Our recent shipment included some EXTREMELY long, extract-grade red split vanilla beans, with lengths from 7¼ inches long to over 8½ inches long. Our Madagascar source informs us an independant testing lab has verified a vanillin content in these beans (the substance in the beans that gives the vanilla planifolia/Bourbon variety its characteristic flavor) of close to 2%, which is by far one of the best readings we have seen in several years (a reading of 1.5% is considered “good”). We are offering these extraordinary beans for a limited time, until we run out. |

Super Premium
Madagascar Bourbon |
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.

Extract Vanilla Beans - Uganda [15cm - 16cm lengths] These superior quality, “TK” grade vanilla beans from Uganda are from the same source as our flagship UGANDA GOLD™ Vanilla Beans; they are just slightly shorter in length and a bit drier (at 25% moisture, which is slightly higher than more standard, extract grade B beans). That means you can expect all the deep, concentrated flavor of Ugandan planifolia vanilla beans, plus you will get a few more beans per lb. These outstanding beans will make a superior quality extract, either on their own or blended with extract beans from other origins. And they are at an attractive price point compared to their longer, premium Euro-TK cousins. |
SUPERIOR QUALITY “TK” GRADE EXTRACT VANILLA BEANS FROM UGANDA
Temporarily Out of Stock New Shipment On Its Way - Expected Mid-March 2024
Lengths and Beans Per Pound: Our premium quality Ugandan TK grade extract beans range in length from 15cm - 16cm (~ 6" - 6¼+"). Because the lengths and particularly the moisture content vary in these Extract Grade 1 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—perhaps as much as double the number—because TK 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 generally 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.
Vanilla Beans - Indonesia [16cm - 19cm lengths] |
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"). Because the lengths and particularly the moisture content vary in these 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—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. When making homemade vanilla extract, you should generally go by the weight of the beans per volume of liquid, not the number of beans.
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!
