Extract Grade Vanilla Beans - Perfect for Homemade Vanilla Extract

Our Extract Grade vanilla beans are specifically selected for making premium homemade vanilla extract, vanilla powder, and bulk baking. With lower moisture content (10-20%) and higher vanillin concentration (2.5-3.5%), these beans offer maximum flavor extraction and exceptional value.

Available in Two Exquisite Varieties:

• Madagascar Extract Grade - Rich, creamy, classic vanilla flavor with notes of caramel and chocolate
• Tahitian Extract Grade - Floral, fruity, exotic vanilla with delicate cherry and anise notes

Why Choose Extract Grade Vanilla Beans?

• ✅ Highest vanillin content (2.5-3.5%) for maximum flavor extraction
• ✅ Best value per unit of flavor - more concentrated than Grade A or B
• ✅ Ideal for extract-making - use 6-8 beans per cup of alcohol
• ✅ Perfect for vanilla powder - grind dried beans into fine powder
• ✅ Economical for bulk use - baking, cooking, commercial production

Extract Grade vs Other Grades:

Extract Grade beans are NOT lower quality - they're simply optimized for extraction:

• Grade A (Gourmet): 25-35% moisture, plump, best for visible use (ice cream, custards)
• Grade B (Extract/Culinary): 15-25% moisture, concentrated flavor, great for baking and extract
• Extract Grade: 10-20% moisture, highest vanillin, BEST for extract-making and powder
