Pompona Madagascar vanilla beans are whole Grade A vanilla pods prized for their bold, full-bodied flavor and larger-than-average size. Sometimes called Mexican cured Madagascar vanilla, they're a rare Planifolia and Pompona hybrid grown wild in the forests of Madagascar. If you bake, cook, or make your own vanilla extract, these beans give you a richer, more complex vanilla than the usual pantry stuff — and they make a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to cook.
🌿 Features

- 📏 Generous Size: Average length of 6-7 inches per bean.
