The full pound. The best per-bean price. The benchmark origin.
One pound of Grade A Madagascar Bourbon vanilla — roughly 100–120 gourmet beans — sourced direct, hand-graded, and shipped fresh. This is our best value on splitting-grade Madagascar: at $160/lb you're paying a fraction of the per-bean price of retail packs, with the same moisture, aroma, and seed density throughout.
Who buys the pound: bakeries, ice cream makers, coffee shops, cottage-food producers, extract makers who want gourmet stock, and home bakers who split an order with friends.
Why Grade A: consistent gourmet-standard grading across the entire pound — no mixed bags, no filler beans.
Perfect for: production baking, batch infusions, retail-ready vanilla sugar, and any kitchen where vanilla is an everyday ingredient, not a luxury.
Direct-sourced. Uniformly graded. Priced for volume.
