Vanilla Bean

Where do you all get your vanilla bean from? I got some from sprouts and it was about 5 bucks a bean. After I drank 4-5 beers i woke up this morning and I guess i made an etsy order for a vanilla bean plant

I get my beans (usually madagascar) from Beanilla. They are pricey, but are better (stronger flavor) than any others I've tried.

This post was a while ago. I have been happy with these beans.

Vanilla beans are a pretty expensive ingredient. I have used them in a porter and a stout. I'm planning a milkshake IPA so have been scouring the inter webs looking for my best option. I settled on 10 extract grade B pods from Vanilla Bean Kings (an Amazon seller). I have no affiliation with this company, just a customer. They arrived today and I am pleased with the product. Nice plump, moist beans well packaged, $1.90/bean. I purchased something similar from Vanilla Products USA before (another large Amazon seller) for a little less ($1.50/bean) but the quality did not seem as good to me. I can recommend this product. I will make a tincture/extract out of all of them so they should stay pretty well preserved for some time to come.

Where do you find vanilla beans and what are your purchase recommendations?
