Product review: Strongus Tahitian Vanilla Beans - Vacuum Sealed Grade A Vanilla Pods Fresh

 

 The Vanilla beans in this package were vacuum-packed and still soft when I opened the package.

You can either throw the whole vanilla bean, once it is cut, into the recipe, or you can just use the scraped seeds and save the pod for another use later. The most efficient way to get the flavor from the vanilla is to add it to something warm, which helps to disperse the seeds and the oils. I love adding half a vanilla bean to my coffee. So much better than flavored coffee. After I use the whole bean soaked in coffee, I grind it a coffee grinder and add it to the coffee grinds to get the last bits of flavor.

One vanilla bean is equivalent to about three teaspoons of vanilla extract. If a recipe only calls for one teaspoon of vanilla extract, you can slice the seed in thirds and only split and scrape one-third of the bean while storing the remaining two-thirds.

While a vanilla bean pod stored in sugar can become hard, you can revive it in hot water or other hot liquid.
