Vanilla Beans

Excellent Product! Excellent Service!

I'm a convert

I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

This extract is used to make our Tahitian Vanilla Cakes!

How many vanilla beans are in 5 oz?

Answers (1)

Slofoodgroup 11/17/2024

It is five ounces by weight of vanilla beans. There is no set count as vanilla beans vary in shape, size and length ranging from 15cm average to 18cm plus. The value of vanilla is by weight but if you are looking for a certain count amount of vanilla beans, it is recommended to purchase by count so you get the amount of vanilla beans you are looking for. Value wise, the weight of vanilla is more accurate as 5oz of vanilla beans that is 35 beans is just as much vanilla as 5oz that is 50 vanilla beans.

How many beans in 1 lb

Answers (1)

Slofoodgroup L. 06/05/2022

Thank you for your question. There is no specific count associated with any weighted variation of vanilla beans. Please refer to our FAQ page for answers to this and other common questions. In many cases there are 7-10 vanilla beans per ounce +\- natural variations in size and shape. 140 vanilla beans that weigh 1lb is equally as much as 100 vanilla beans that weigh 1lb but are larger than the average length. Hope this helps and thank you for your question.
