Our ground Bourbon vanilla beans (Madagascar) are very special- a luxury superfood that once you try, you'll never want to be without! Did you know that each vanilla bean is hand-pollinated and is the fruit of the vanilla orchid whose blossoms open for just a few hours, only ONE day a year?? The bean takes up to ten months to mature, is then hand-picked and requires an additional six months to cure. What an incredible, magical, sensual, aromatic luxury! Pure Ground Vanilla is not the same as Vanilla Powder, which is a combination of sugar or dextrose and ground vanilla or vanilla extract. Pure Ground Vanilla is a very fragrant product that can be used for colour, texture, and flavour. Ground GY VANILLA BEANs are very easy to use. You need just a small amount to add excellent vanilla flavour. What is “real vanilla,” and why is it so expensive? The answer lies in the vanilla bean itself. The quality and attributes of vanilla owe themselves to a multitude of factors. From 2 oz /57 g
