Organic Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans

Rich, floral and unmistakably real vanilla. SpiceBloom Certified Organic Grade A Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans are plump, flexible whole pods chosen for bakers and dessert makers who want the aroma, flavour and beautiful black vanilla seeds that only a whole bean can provide.

Made from Vanilla planifolia, these Madagascar-grown pods are hand-pollinated and sun-cured before being packed in Auckland. Each Grade A bean is 14cm+ with a dark, supple appearance and an aromatic interior filled with tiny seeds often known as vanilla “caviar”.

Why Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla?

Whole vanilla beans offer more than flavour alone: you get the aromatic seeds, the pod itself for infusing, and complete control over how much vanilla goes into your recipe.

🌸

Deep, Floral Aroma

Madagascar Bourbon vanilla is prized in this range for its rich, rounded vanilla character and floral aroma, making it a natural fit for custards, cream, cakes, ice cream and classic desserts.

Grade A Whole Pods

These 14cm+ beans are selected for a plump, oily and flexible texture rather than a dry, brittle feel. Slice one open and the aromatic black seeds are ready to scrape straight into your recipe.

🖤

Real Vanilla Seeds

The tiny black specks give custards, creams, frostings and ice cream the distinctive appearance of whole-bean vanilla while delivering flavour directly from the pod.

Use the Whole Vanilla Bean

A premium vanilla pod gives you two useful ingredients in one. The seeds provide concentrated vanilla character and the emptied pod still carries plenty of aroma for infusing.

To use: place the bean on a chopping board, carefully split it lengthwise with the tip of a small knife, then open the pod and scrape out the seeds with the back of the blade. Add the seeds directly to your mixture.

Don’t discard the scraped pod. Add it to warm milk or cream for a gentle vanilla infusion, or bury a clean used pod in a sealed container of sugar to make homemade vanilla sugar.

Perfect for Baking, Desserts & Infusions

Because the flavour is rich without being one-dimensional, these organic vanilla beans work across everyday baking and special-occasion desserts alike.

  • Scrape into crème brûlée, custard and pastry cream.
  • Add to homemade ice cream and frozen desserts.
  • Mix through whipped cream, frosting and buttercream.
  • Use in cakes, cheesecakes, biscuits and sweet baking.
  • Infuse whole or scraped pods into milk and cream.
  • Add the seeds to pancakes, waffles or French toast mixtures.
  • Make vanilla sugar with a used, scraped pod.
  • Use in recipes where visible vanilla specks add a premium finish.

Quick Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream

You’ll need: 250ml whipping cream, 15g icing sugar and the seeds from 1 Organic Madagascar Vanilla Bean.

Method: Chill your mixing bowl, then add the cream and icing sugar. Split the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds into the bowl and whip until soft peaks form. Spoon over pancakes, fruit, cakes, pies or warm desserts. Save the scraped pod for vanilla sugar or a milk infusion.

Why Choose Whole Vanilla Beans?

Vanilla extract, paste, powder and whole beans each have their place. Whole pods are especially useful when the appearance and aroma of freshly scraped vanilla seeds are part of the finished dessert.

Visible Vanilla Specks

Ideal for pale desserts such as custard, cream, ice cream and frosting where the tiny seeds can be seen throughout the finished recipe.

Control the Intensity

Use a portion of the seeds for a lighter vanilla note, or use the full bean when you want the pod to play a more prominent role in the recipe.

Seeds + Infusing Pod

After scraping out the seeds, the pod can still be used to scent sugar or infuse dairy, helping you make use of more of the whole bean.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use a whole vanilla bean?

Split the pod lengthwise and scrape out the tiny black seeds. Add the seeds directly to custards, creams, cakes, frostings, ice cream or other recipes. The scraped pod can then be used for infusing milk, cream or sugar.

How should I store vanilla beans?

Keep the beans tightly sealed in a cool, dark pantry away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate them. Current product guidance is that correctly stored beans can remain plump and aromatic for around 6–12 months.

Why can the number of pods in each pack vary?

Vanilla beans are a natural agricultural product, so individual pods vary in length, thickness and weight. SpiceBloom packs this product by weight in 10g, 20g, 50g and 100g sizes rather than guaranteeing an exact pod count.

Are these Madagascar vanilla beans organic?

Yes. These Grade A Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans are Certified Organic and are made from Vanilla planifolia.

Top quality Vanilla beans

TOP QUALITY BEANS are now snuggling together in a bottle of my homemade Velvet Viking Vodka and the ensemble smells more heavenly by the hour. My housemate disdained my project at first and now the rascal is begging to taste even though I mean this bottle of lovelies for vanilla extract for baking not tippling. The growers are to be congratulated for their hard efforts.

Organic Vanilla Madagascar bean pods

Recieved the vanilla beans within a few days. They smell amazing. One bean pod was abit squished making it partly split, otherwise the other ones were good. This is why I am giving it 4 stars. Would still re order them when needed.

I thought vanilla was just vanilla until I tried these. The flavour is deep, rich, and full-bodied. I’ll never go back to the cheap stuff.
