All I can say is WOW! I have never seen vanilla beans this fresh and moist! They are HUGE! There is no comparison between the vanilla beans from http://www.beanilla.com and the ones you pay an arm and a leg for in the grocery! I am so glad I found this site!

RE: The Best Place To Buy Vanilla Beans
Are vanilla beans supposed to be pliable or are the dry? I ordered some and they were hard and snapped in half. When I split them down the middle I couldn't get anything out because they were dry. Do they come like this? Was I supposed to do something to them to rehydrate them?

The vanilla beans we purchased from TopVanilla.com were pitiful. I guess you get what you pay for! I think I'll stick with beanilla.com.

TopVanilla.com had some Madagascar beans I bought- 25 beans for 9.95 and shipping wasn't bad either!

Hello! I followed Sally's suggestion and last week purchased some Vanilla beans from www.Beanilla.com! I am making my own extract, and decided to buy 10 of each of their Madicascar, Mexican, and Tahitian varieties. I received the package yesterday and loved the product! The beans are so much more moiste and plump compared to what I bought in the store. Very impressed. I can't wait to compare the flavors.... I will post my results! Happy cooking to all!

RE: The Best Place To Buy Vanilla Beans
Seeing this post makes me think about the vanilla I'm making...or trying to. I discovered Penzey's about 2 yrs. ago and am fortunate to have a store abut 4 miles from my house (that's where I buy all my spices now). I bought their Mexican vanilla beans because I wanted to make my own vanilla & give small bottles as Christmas gifts to the women in my family. I didn't give it as Christmas gifts because I was really unsure about it. I started this August 7, 2005 when I made 2 quarts...I put 1 1/2 beans in each jar & then filled the jars with vodka. They have been sitting on a little table in my kitchen since then...with me shaking the jars a couple of times a week. Would this be good to use? Or would I need to add more vanilla beans? I know I have read different posts that this stays good for a long time, but could someone tell me what to do now?
Thanx for any suggestions.

We too buy all of our vanilla beans from http://www.beanilla.com - I am a professional pastry chef and find that their vanilla beans are perfect for all of our applications. Their "Madagascar Premium Gourmet" beans are the best Vanilla Beans we have seen in 8 years!! A couple of the beans were over 9 inches long!!

RE: The Best Place To Buy Vanilla Beans
I just got a pound ( about 120 beans) off ebay and they are fantastic! They are Tahitian beans from 6-7 inches. I got them for $30.00 US +SH. It cost me about 40 total and I am storing a large amount in vodka for extract, or pull out a bean and squeeze the seeds out into your favorite recipe. I am keeping a couple dozen in a air tight sealed bag. You can freeze them too, but like most things they lose a little of their essence. I know a pound seems like a lot, they sell 1/4, and 1/2 pounds too. It's loads cheaper than the cost of the beans individually. Buy bulk and share with a friend!

Check your local supermarket. Look in the gourmet spices section, if your supermarket has it. If not, talk to the manager. Sometimes they will help you. Also, try local farmer markets. In my area, we have a person who sells nothing but spices.

RE: The Best Place To Buy Vanilla Beans
I finally found vanilla beans at a Costless Market. It cost 7.99 for one bean. I bought 2 beans and am now waiting for the vanilla to mature. If you don't have a Costless Market in your area, talk to your local grocery store and they would probably order it in for you.
