 Good flavor and value! August 26, 2008
Purchased for making homemade vanilla ice cream. Slightly smaller beans than expected, but overall flavor and price outweighs expensive local bought beans.
Fair price. Good quality July 21, 2008
Nice alternative if you can't find them locally. Great gift for the avid cook.
Great value! June 24, 2008
I have a small gourmet catering business and have a couple of dessert items I use vanilla beans for. One recipe calls for 3 full vanilla beans for each recipe! One can image how expensive that would be at $4 - $6 per bean! This Melissa's box was an incredible buy at just over $1 per bean...the beans are supple and their flavor is very good. As another reviewer mentioned, they are not the most coveted bean but for most purposes they are excellent! I highly recommend this purchase for anyone who uses a lot of vanilla beans or who can find someone to share them with. I don't know how long they will remain fresh because I haven't had that issue, but as quickly as I use them, I don't expect to. This is a tremendous value!!
Excellent Buy! December 4, 2006

Vanilla beans in our area cost $6 for one and up to $11 for two. I like to make my own vanilla extract and I also like vanilla flavored sugar which requires whole beans. I probably have a lifetime supply of vanilla beans now, but with Amazon's excellent price on this item, I can use them freely and order again if I need to. Thanks Amazon!

Vanilla beans typically run 6-10 dollars for two at major supermarkets. Those prices make me reluctant to use them in most dishes that call for them, and instead I use vanilla bean paste (Williams and Sonoma sells a very good product). But these beans are such a good deal (less than a fifth the supermarket price) that now I'm willing to use them with almost reckless abandon. Vanilla beans really do provide superior flavor to things like rice pudding and custards and vanilla ice cream, a more complex, more luxurious flavor than vanilla extract does. These beans arrived fresh, fragrant, and tightly bagged. They're Madagascar vanilla beans, considered by some cognoscenti to be inferior to Tahitian beans, but not being one of the cognoscenti, I can't detect much difference at all. This product has made me a fan of internet grocery shopping.
