Peruvian Vanilla Beans are whole Grade A pods grown in the Amazon Rainforest region of Peru, prized for a flavor profile of cherries, raisins, and figs with sweet floral undertones. They're a good pick for anyone making homemade vanilla extract, baking, or looking for a thoughtful gift for the baker or home brewer in their life. Each pod comes from a small annual harvest, so what you get is genuinely rare.
