About Bakto Flavors Vanilla Beans-Madagascar Gourmet-10
Our Vanilla Beans are the world's best. Delicious and fresh, they are the perfect addition to anyone's kitchen. While you can use them in all of your desserts, vanilla isn't just for ice cream anymore. Vanilla beans go well in savory dishes, like seafood, meat, and BBQ sauce. One bean added to your spaghetti sauce will elevate your dish to a whole new level. Vanilla from Madagascar is Vanilla planifolia, a plant that originated in Mexico. There are only two species of vanilla allowed for food use, Vanilla planifolia, and Vanilla tahitensis. In most of the world's vanilla-producing states, Vanilla planifolia is grown. The beans in Madagascar are grown by 80,000 small farmers who use traditional curing methods. There are over 600 natural chemicals in vanilla, chief among them is vanillin. Scientists in Bakto Flavors continue to be involved in research and development of vanilla so that we can offer our customer the best product on the market. There is an on-going crisis in the vanilla industry: prices are sky high and the quality is continuing to go down. We are involved in education on the subject as well as promoting new geographical location to start vanilla production. We believe everyone should have vanilla products in their kitchen. Our beans are fully inspected NOT to be packed in vacuum sealed bags. Vacuum packed practices are damaging to the beans and cause conditions in which anaerobic bacteria grow, creating an off-flavor to the beans.. These practices are done in order to keep the moisture and the weight, so consumers actually end up paying for water, and to prevent the mold from growing. However, when these beans are opened in room temperature conditions, the mold will actually start growing in a very short time. Fully-cured and stable beans do not need a vacuum; they will last for many years without any mold growing on them.
