2 oz Mexican Vanilla Bean Pieces - Voladores Vanilla

Voladores Vanilla works directly with small producers in the Totonacapan region of Mexico, the birthplace of vanilla, to bring you this sweetly aromatic spice. Each vanilla bean is left to ripen on the vine for nine months in order to achieve maximum vanillin content. The pods are sun-cured for several more months using traditional methods to develop the warm, chocolatey flavors and unmistakable aroma. Vanilla pieces (also known as vanilla cuts) are an economical and convenient way to make vanilla extract at home. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the pods are split open exposing the seeds, while others are not quite long enough to be sold as extract beans. The rest are vanilla bean "misfits" due to natural blemishes and odd shapes. Most of the beans are cut into 1-2” pieces. The irregular appearance of these vanilla pods will not affect their flavor. Rather, they are ready-to-use and will yield an extract with a deep maple color, delicate aroma, and bold flavor. Experience the flavors of Veracruz, Mexico, home of the exotic vanilla orchid.
