fragrant, delicious, and cheapAug 21, 2006
By James W. Picht
Vanilla beans typically run 6-10 dollars for two at major supermarkets. Those prices make me reluctant to use them in most dishes that call for them, and instead I use vanilla bean paste (Williams and Sonoma sells a very good product). But these beans are such a good deal (less than a fifth the supermarket price) that now I'm willing to use them with almost reckless abandon. Vanilla beans really do provide superior flavor to things like rice pudding and custards and vanilla ice cream, a more complex, more luxurious flavor than vanilla extract does. These beans arrived fresh, fragrant, and tightly bagged. They're Madagascar vanilla beans, considered by some cognoscenti to be inferior to Tahitian beans, but not being one of the cognoscenti, I can't detect much difference at all. This product has made me a fan of internet grocery shopping.

Excellent Buy!Dec 04, 2006
By S. Reid
Vanilla beans in our area cost $6 for one and up to $11 for two. I like to make my own vanilla extract and I also like vanilla flavored sugar which requires whole beans. I probably have a lifetime supply of vanilla beans now, but with Amazon's excellent price on this item, I can use them freely and order again if I need to. Thanks Amazon!

I will never buy vanilla beans at the store again!Sep 14, 2010
By P. Hunter
"p.e."
I purchased a Cuisinart electric ice cream maker Cuisinart ICE-20 Automatic 1-1/2-Quart Ice-Cream Maker, Whitethis summer as well as a couple of great recipe books (The Perfect Scoop by David Libovitz, and The Old Fashioned Ice Cream Cookbook by Joyce Deuker). Most of the recipes in each book call for vanilla beans (in fact, almost insist on them!) - have you priced them recently? Yikes. So I turned to my trusty Amazon.com site, searched for vanilla beans and found these. I could not be more pleased - they are moist, flexible and have a very nice flavor. I particularly like that they come in packages of two, so the remainder stay fresh - who knew vanilla beans weren't crunchy! After I have soaked the ice cream mixture, I dry the bean and put it in a jar with sugar so next time I see a recipe for vanilla sugar, I won't have to scramble. I highly recommed this product.
Best Vanilla BeansNov 10, 2008

"chocaluah maker"
Great product for the price. Only negative would be the packaging. Since I keep mine in the freezer a single package of 24 or 30 or whatever would be sufficient. I make "Chocaluah", a coffee-chocolate liquor for adult use as a syrup over ice cream. These beans add additional depth to the flavor of the sauce.
 Good flavor and value!Aug 26, 2008

Purchased for making homemade vanilla ice cream. Slightly smaller beans than expected, but overall flavor and price outweighs expensive local bought beans.
