About this item
- ORGANIC GRADE B MADAGASCAR VANILLA BEAN PODS: These are mostly whole, semi-dry to dry, 5"-7" bean pods with the rich classic Madagascar vanilla aroma. We get our beans from the source - peasant Malagasy farmers at fair market price.
- SAVE MONEY & HAVE FUN WITH YOUR HOME-MADE VANILLA EXTRACT: Our specially sorted Organic Grade B pods typically are conditioned longer to eliminate more water weight. Great for alcohol-vanilla extract.
- TRADITIONAL ORGANIC CULTIVATION & STRONG FLAVOR: NON-GMO, handpicked, bourbon conditioned for inviting rich aroma, vacuum-sealed pack and ready to be shipped to your kitchen.
- DON’T REFRIGERATE. They lose moisture and flavor on refrigeration. Store in airtight bag, in a cool dry place for a longer shelf life (~1yr). Thus, our beans are packed in BPA-free, food-grade vacuum sealed bags to maintain freshness for a longer time.
- WE ARE PROUD OF OUR BEANS & STRIVE FOR COMPLETE AND HAPPY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: We go the extra mile to offer the best vanilla beans to our customers. If our beans do not meet your expectations, please email us through Amazon and we will do whatever we can to meet your expectations.
*Short Storage Times thus, Consistently Fresh Vanilla Pods
*They have low moisture content which means less water and more vanilla mass.
*During the extraction process, the alcohol solvent gets to work on the vanillin without much dilution from the otherwise high moisture content pods.
Experience the Delight of Aromatic Vanilla Beans at FITNCLEAN VANILLA
FITNCLEAN HERBS AND SPICES is a family owned agribusiness which is centered and focused on vanilla beans. We import the finest vanilla beans across the globe, notably from Madagascar, Tahiti, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
We source directly from the farmer to the end-user, sidelining the middlemen hence we are able to offer competitive prices. Also, due to our direct sourcing business model, we are able to shorten the distribution time and limit the storage duration which enables us to offer consistently fresh and fragrance-full vanilla pods to our clients.
While we have incorporated different quality checks along the way to make sure the beans that are delivered to you are of the appropriate quality, we understand that the entire process of making finished vanilla bean pods, even the final packaging itself is a tedious manual process. So, any concerns, we like to hear about it.
Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is the most popular of the 3 cultivated vanilla species (Vanilla planifolia, Vanilla tahitiensis and Vanilla pompona) due to it rich permeating flavor.
Why the Grade B Madagascar Pods are often used for Vanilla Flavor-Alcohol Extraction
Split open or chop into pieces FITNCLEAN vanilla bean pods into a clean coverable jar containing vodka or your choice alcoholic spirit (~50g vanilla pods for every 16 oz. alcohol). You can scale up or down using the stated ratio as a guide but make sure there is enough alcohol to completely submerge the beans. Tightly close the jar and allow content to macerate for about 6-8 weeks or longer while shaking periodically (every 3-5 days).
The recommendation for pure vanilla-alcohol extract solution is ≥ 100 g of vanilla bean pod per liter using a 35% or greater alcohol.
Different types of alcoholic spirits are used but Vodka and Rum are the most commonly used. Vegetable glycerin oil is also used sometimes.
