Discover the rich aroma and flavor of Grade A vanilla beans, sourced directly from Uganda. Whether you're making gourmet desserts or crafting homemade vanilla extract, these premium vanilla pods deliver unmatched quality and value. Ideal for bulk buyers, bakers, chefs, and extract makers.
What Are Ugandan Vanilla Beans?
Ugandan vanilla beans are known for their bold, creamy flavor and exceptionally high vanillin content. Grown in fertile volcanic soil, these beans develop a robust profile with notes of chocolate, fig, and dried fruit.
Unlike other regions, Uganda’s unique tropical climate allows two vanilla harvests per year, providing consistently fresh beans with rich moisture and aroma.
Key characteristics of Ugandan Vanilla Beans Grade A:
- Moisture content: 28–33%
- Bean length: 6–8 inches
- Vanillin content: ≥2%
- Appearance: Oily, plump, dark brown
Benefits of Using Vanilla Beans Grade A
When compared to lower grades, Vanilla Beans Grade A are:
- More aromatic—thanks to their higher moisture and oil content.
- Visually appealing—ideal for recipes that showcase the bean (e.g., vanilla bean ice cream).
- Ready to use—no soaking or rehydration needed.
- Perfect for baking—use the caviar (seeds) in custards, cakes, and frostings.
They're also great for creating premium homemade vanilla extract—rich, flavorful, and chemical-free.
How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract (Using Vanilla Pods)
Making vanilla extract with these Grade A vanilla beans is simple and rewarding.
Ingredients:
- 6–8 whole vanilla beans
- 1 cup of vodka (or rum/brandy)
Steps:
- Split the vanilla beans lengthwise and place them in a clean, dry glass bottle.
- Add alcohol, ensuring the beans are fully submerged.
- Seal tightly and store in a dark, cool place.
- Shake the bottle once a week.
- Wait at least 6 months before using (the longer, the better!).
Your result: a rich, dark, and full-bodied vanilla extract made with top-quality vanilla beans.
