These showed up in the mail today. What an amazing deal. 1/2 pound or around 60 Grade A Gourmet Tahitian Vanilla Beans for $16.49 including shipping. From vanilla products USA through their ebay store
The jar next to the beans contained 2 beans and was $9.00
I went with Tahitian just cuz they sounded cooler. What is the difference you ask?
Planifolia beans, commonly known as Madagascar Bourbon, is the taste most people are familiar with. Vanilla Extract that you would normally buy at the supermarket is usually made with Madagascar beans.Tahitian beans also contain heliotropin, an organic compound that imparts a sweet, floral, fruity flavor.
Gonna make some extract, uber ice cream, and some sugar.
