The Vanilla Beans are Plump
I'm going to be very honest in this review. There is so much hype and excitement in the comments about how "AMAZING" these vanilla beans are. Don't get me wrong, the packaging was excellent. The vanilla beans I received smells good, but the scent is not necessarily "strong" and "aromatic" as everyone exaggerates. The scent was strong enough to smell through the vacuum package, but it wasn't strong enough to smell inside the box that the package came in. They're pretty plump which means there's a lot of yummy seeds inside. They're about 5-6" inches long. I recommend buying the larger amounts because the price will be lower per bean and you get more bang for your buck in the long run. I'm going to put my beans in Cruzan White Rum to make vanilla extract. I hope this review helps a lot of people make their decision when purchasing this vanilla bean.
