Product Description
As an essential ingredient for making crème brûlée, vanilla ice cream, and many other dishes, nothing beats a quality vanilla bean. Some recipes call for splitting the bean and using only the tiny black vanilla seeds contained in the bean. Place used and dried vanilla beans in a few cupfuls of sugar. After a few days, you will have delicious vanilla sugar to use in your cookie and cake recipes. Compare these prices to what you pay for one vanilla bean at your local market.

First off, top notch customer service- there's a personal touch that's rarely seen in on-line purchasing! Please keep it up!
Now for the goods: These vanilla beans are a fantastic value. Seriously, I wasn't expecting much- I was hopeful given the other reviews- but I've learned some hard lessons to not expect such high standards of quality- especially when it comes to gourmand items- These beans are even superior to those I can get from my local provider (at three times the cost, mind you.) I've even ordered online from two other sources (one recommended by Martha Stewart, lol)- and these beans are plumper and more supple than those other pricier providers. (Plump and supple- always a good thing.)
If you're on the fence- I urge you to go for it. You owe it to your recipes to use quality indredients. You will not be disappointed. I know I'm not.
Thank you kindly!

I can't say enough good things about JR Mushrooms. These are top-quality chef inspired vanilla beans. I got them primaraily for my creme brulee.
Another plus was the free shipping which really helps a struggling young chef like myself. The only slight dissappointment was that there was no "Best Creme Brulee" recipe enclosed. No problem for me as I've memorized the procedure.
I can say this: You won't be dissappointed by this product. Use it in whatever calls for vanilla, even ice cream!

I bought these and the greatest thing besides the awesome price and the fabulous beans is that the VP or CEO or some such lovely gentleman actually emailed me and thanked me for my purchase and when I responded, followed up again with a nice response! How nice is that in this day and age!
I used these beans in my home made eggnog this year and it was out of this world. I first scraped the bean and then threw the pod in and left it there till the nog was gone. (not long)
I also use one when I make my hot chocolate "syrup" (Lots of bittersweet chips, melted in milk and a little haff and half and the bean scraped and the pod - once again left in - I mske hot chocolate out of it by adding more milk to taste and a little bitty bit of brandy...decadent...oh my yes!)
This is a great buy, great beans, great company! Buy with assurance!

These are not the shriveled scrawny beans you find in a jar in the grocery store. They are amazing. Don't tell JR - but he isn't charging enough!!

These Beans are the very best. And you will not believe the kindness and caring of the sellers. I used mines for Vanilla Sugar. Coffee is much better now.
