Honest to Goodness Vanilla Beans (2 beans)

Description

Tahitensis beans are a great choice for a variety of cooking and baking projects, they are perfect in many fruit desserts and ideal in crème desserts such as crème brulee and custards. You can use the whole bean as is in some recipes, however it is often better to scrape out the seeds so they can easily disperse in what you are making. To do this, place the bean on a flat surface and cut the bean lengthways, open it up and scrape out the seeds that are loaded with flavour. You can also use the pod that is left to make vanilla sugar.
