How to Identify the Best Quality Vanilla

When selecting vanilla beans, look for those that are dark-skinned, soft, and flexible, regardless of their origin. High-quality vanilla beans should emit a rich, fragrant aroma. Avoid beans that have little to no aroma, as well as those that are smoky, brittle, dry, or moldy.

Choose plump beans with thin skins to maximize the number of seeds. To test their quality, gently squeeze the beans between your fingers. The pods should be dark brown, almost black, and flexible enough to wrap around your finger without breaking. If the beans feel hard, you can soften them by immersing them in the liquid used in your recipe.
