Vanilla Beans
KSh1,650.00
Premium Grade A Ugandan Vanilla Beans (Vanilla Planifolia) offer a bold, creamy flavor profile with distinct notes of milk chocolate, dried figs, and raisins. They are plump and moist with a moisture content of 30% and higher than average vanillin content.
This makes them perfect for vanilla extracts, recipes with dark chocolate or strong vanilla-based desserts.
Our Vanilla Beans come vacuum sealed to retain moisture and peak flavor for longer.
Ugandan Vanilla Beans are perfect for desserts and pastries like muffins, tarts and fruit pies and also recipes that use dark chocolate.
