Vanilla Products USA Tahitian Vanilla Beans — 25 Grade B Pods (Papua New Guinea), Vacuum-Packed for Extracts

These are 25 Grade B Tahitian vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea, specially cured and vacuum-packed for making high-quality vanilla extract.

Vanilla Products USA sources traditionally cured Tahitian beans grown in Papua New Guinea and inspects each lot three times to ensure consistent aroma and moisture for extract production. Grade B beans have a firmer texture and concentrated flavor ideal for infusions and extracts, while vacuum packaging preserves freshness during storage and shipping. Use Grade A when you need plump, soft beans for direct culinary use; choose these Grade B pods when your goal is to steep, macerate, or age vanilla into spirits, glycerin, or culinary extracts.

How do these Grade B Tahitian beans perform when making vanilla extract?

Grade B beans deliver robust, concentrated flavor because they are partially dried and concentrated during curing. They give more extractable vanillin and aromatic compounds per pod than fresher, plumper Grade A beans, making them efficient for long maceration.

• 25 beans per pack for multiple extract batches
• Traditionally cured to concentrate flavor compounds
• Vacuum-packed to lock in aroma and prevent moisture loss
• Best used with alcohol, glycerin, or distilled water for extraction

What aroma and taste profile can I expect from Tahitian beans?

Tahitian vanilla is known for a sweet, floral perfume with fruity and cherry-like undertones rather than heavy smoky or spicy notes. These Grade B pods emphasize the aromatic floral character, which translates into fragrant, nuanced extracts.

• Sweet, floral top notes with subtle fruitiness
• Less sharp vanillin bite than some Bourbon varieties
• Gives extracts a fragrant, dessert-friendly bouquet
• Works well where delicate aroma is desired

How should I store and prepare these vanilla beans for best results?

Keep the vacuum-sealed pack until use to maintain moisture and aroma. For extraction, split the pods lengthwise to expose the seeds and increase surface area, then submerge whole beans and seeds in your chosen solvent for several weeks.

• Store unopened in a cool, dark place; refrigerate after opening if desired
• Split pods before steeping to boost infusion efficiency
• Allow at least 4–8 weeks for a robust extract; longer for deeper flavor
• Reuse pods to make a second, lighter extract or to flavor sugar
