GIDDY-YO - Vanilla Beans, Madagascar Bourbon, Ground - Organic - 2 oz / 57 g

Giddy YoYo Ground Vanilla Bean
The beans need up to ten months to mature, are then hand-picked and require an additional six months to cure.* Our Ground Vanilla Bean Powder is cultivated in Papua New Guinea and our source works directly with family and sustainable growers.* Although it is not ‘certified organic’ due to the prohibitive cost of certification for the farmers, no pesticides or chemicals are used in the cultivating of the orchids and curing of the beans.* When stored properly Ground GY Vanilla Bean Powder stays fresher longer than whole beans.*

Pure Ground Vanilla is not the same as Vanilla Powder, which is a combination of sugar or dextrose and ground vanilla or vanilla extract.* Pure Ground Vanilla is a very fragrant product that can be used for color, texture, and flavour.* Ground GY Vanilla Bean Powder is very easy to use.* You need just a small amount to add excellent vanilla flavour.*

What is “real vanilla,” and why is it so expensive?* The answer lies in the vanilla bean itself.* The quality and attributes of vanilla owe themselves to a multitude of factors.* From growing location, to curing procedures, to vanillin content, each cured vanilla bean (or “pod”) is graded on a long list of indicators that help separate quality vanilla products from inferior ones.* From beginning to end, science and art must work in unison to create quality vanilla beans.* By the end of the process, beans have vanillin contents of anywhere from 1.4%- 2.8%--with the higher-quality beans averaging 2% and above.*
