Kiddu - Gourmet Whole Grade A Vanilla Beans

Our Finest Hand-Picked Vanilla Beans: A Complex Flavor Explosion

Encompassing a complex host of beautiful flavors, our finest hand-picked vanilla beans are a true delight. Featuring notes of butterscotch, caramel, and almond, these pure and versatile beans are ideal for a range of applications, from panna cotta to pastry creams, puddings, and ice cream.

Each deep brown vanilla bean is bursting with flavor, so you'll only need to use a single bean at a time, unless you're making a large dessert for a group of friends. Once split and the contents scraped out for your recipe, don't let the empty vanilla bean go to waste – simply place it in a sugar jar to infuse the sugar with its rich, fragrant essence.

Wrap the unused vanilla beans back in the wax paper and reseal them in the pouch, keeping them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. With proper care, these vanilla beans will continue to develop even greater intensity over time, much like a fine wine. Keep an eye out for the tell-tale crystals that are a hallmark of true premium, properly conditioned vanilla beans.
