Our extract grade vanilla beans average 12-14 cm, composed of both vanilla planifolia and vanilla tahitensis vanilla. These vanilla beans can contain minor cuts,splits and other imperfections of natural processing. Depending on the time of the year and current harvests vanilla beans can range from very dry or moist vanilla beans to smaller vanilla beans and are not gourmet vanilla beans. The extraction grade vanilla beans come from the same farms we get our grade A Vanilla from but do not meet the Grade A standard for vanilla beans or our company standard for gourmet vanilla. We offer these Vanilla Beans at a discounted price. Extration grade vanilla is perfect for making homemade vanilla extract, soaps, perfumes or even useful in small operations that like to make in house or barrel aged pure vanilla extract. Limited stocks are available.TO MAKE VANILLA EXTRACT: Using on average 10 beans for every cup, CHOP VANILLA BEANS into .25-.5 in pieces (some people prefer to split the beans but this is not needed or efficient especially when working with GRADE B vanilla that are not as pliable as Gourmet or Grade A vanilla ) once chopped, add to vanilla beans to solvent of choice (vodka, rum, brandy, or bourbon) , cover tightly a shake vigorously. Store in cool area outside of direct sunlight and shake at least once weekly for 90 days
