Grade B (Extract Grade). V. Planifolia.
A customer favorite. These are the same planifolia variety as Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, so you get that familiar flavor profile in an extraction-grade bean at a price that makes large-batch extract practical. With their lower moisture content the beans weigh less, so you get more beans per pound.
- Aromatic Profile: Smooth, with cream and caramel notes. Classic vanilla without sharp edges.
- Description: 14.6 to 19 cm (5 ¾ to 7 ½ inches) long. Consistent batch to batch – excellent when you want a predictable result.
- Ideal for: Large-batch baking, vanilla sugar, and any recipe that calls for vanilla extract and a lot of it.
- Craft extracts: Our everyday extract bean. Many customers pair it with a gourmet single-origin bean for finishing and presentation.

Description
Your Everyday Extract Bean — Anything But Ordinary
Our Indonesian Extract Grade Vanilla Beans are, consistently, one of our most popular products. The reason is simple: they deliver outstanding vanilla flavor at a price point that makes large-batch extract making genuinely practical, without asking you to compromise on quality. For a deeper look at origins, grades, and what to look for when shopping, see our guide on buying vanilla beans.
These are V. planifolia beans — the same species as Madagascar Bourbon vanilla. The growing conditions in Indonesia produce a slightly different expression of the same variety, but the flavor profile is closely aligned: smooth, warm, creamy, with butter and caramel notes that perform reliably across baking and extract applications. Learn more about our sourcing and all four SKUs on our Madagascar vanilla beans page.

Why Home Extract Makers Love These
Making vanilla extract requires beans — typically 5 or more per 8 ounces of alcohol. For home extract makers working through meaningful quantities, cost per bean matters. These give you the quality result without the gourmet price tag. Many of our customers buy both: Indonesian beans for their everyday extract and a gourmet single-origin for finishing and presentation. If you’re making homemade vanilla extract, visit our extract maker guide for bean recommendations and ratios.
Extract Grade (Grade B), V. Planifolia
Lower moisture than gourmet beans — efficient for extraction. A customer favorite for a reason.
