Extract Grade Vanilla Beans

Extract-grade vanilla beans (Grade B) are the professional choice for making vanilla extract and infusions. They are cured to a lower moisture content than gourmet Grade A beans, which concentrates the vanillin — more flavor per gram and more extract per dollar.

Best for: Vanilla extract, flavored syrups, cocktail infusions, cold-brew vanilla coffee
Origins: Madagascar Red Splits, plus whole Grade B beans from Uganda and Indonesia, and Tahitian from Papua New Guinea

Extract-Grade Vanilla Beans for Extract Makers

Grade B beans are cured to a lower moisture content than gourmet Grade A, which concentrates the vanillin. For extraction that is exactly what you want: more flavor compounds per gram, a faster infusion, and a better price per batch. Home extract makers and commercial kitchens buy from the same range we ship to breweries, distillers, and food producers.

Red Splits and Whole Grade B Beans

Our Madagascar Red Splits are split pods — the interior is already exposed, so vanillin extracts quickly. The rest of the range (Uganda, Indonesia, and Tahitian from Papua New Guinea) ships as whole Grade B pods, selected for the same extract-first standard.

Uganda Vanilla Beans

Alongside the Madagascar line we carry Ugandan extract-grade beans: bold and fudgy, with notes of fig, raisin, and dark chocolate. They are a favorite with craft extract makers and distillers who want a darker profile than classic Bourbon vanilla.
