Vanilla Beans - Pure - Large Shaker

Verstegen Vanilla Pods are 100% pure vanilla pods, the dried fruits of the vanilla orchid. When heated in a warm liquid, the pulp from the pod releases an authentic, creamy-sweet vanilla aroma, stronger than when using vanilla extract alone.

Applications of Verstegen Vanilla Pods

Home cooks and chefs use Verstegen Vanilla Pods for, among other things:

• Custard and pudding: adding the pulp to warm milk or cream for a creamy vanilla flavour
• Pastries and cakes: in batter for cakes, pies, and cookies
• Beverages: in warm milk, coffee, or mulled wine for a sweet, aromatic undertone
• Compote and stewed fruit: for a subtle vanilla flavour in apple or pear compote

Verstegen Vanilla Pods are cut open lengthwise so that the pulp can be scraped out with a knife. Learn more about the origin, taste, and use of vanilla in the Verstegen herb and spice library.
