Product Description
As an essential ingredient for making crčme brűlée, vanilla ice cream, and many other dishes, nothing beats a quality vanilla bean. Some recipes call for splitting the bean and using only the tiny black vanilla seeds contained in the bean. Place used and dried vanilla beans in a few cupfuls of sugar. After a few days, you will have delicious vanilla sugar to use in your cookie and cake recipes.

First off, top notch customer service- there's a personal touch that's rarely seen in on-line purchasing! Please keep it up!
Now for the goods: These vanilla beans are a fantastic value. Seriously, I wasn't expecting much- I was hopeful given the other reviews- but I've learned some hard lessons to not expect such high standards of quality- especially when it comes to gourmand items- These beans are even superior to those I can get from my local provider (at three times the cost, mind you.) I've even ordered online from two other sources (one recommended by Martha Stewart, lol)- and these beans are plumper and more supple than those other pricier providers. (Plump and supple- always a good thing.)
If you're on the fence- I urge you to go for it. You owe it to your recipes to use quality indredients. You will not be disappointed. I know I'm not.
Thank you kindly!
UPDATE: October 2010-
Just want to add, that it's now almost 3 years since my original review- and I have ordered dozens of beans from JR since this first order, and never have I been disappointed with the product received. I stand firmly behind my five star mark.
Thanks so much!

I bought seven beans for seven dollars, and was a bit unimpressed with the aromatic quality. They didn't have that strong complex aroma right out of the bag that bourbon beans are known for. That is not to say that the inside of the bean isn't aromatic. After all, it's the guts that really count. Even though these beans don't seem to be as aromatic as other beans, this is still a KILLER DEAL!!! I recently purchased one bean from a popular brand "Spice Islands" for seven dollars. An unbelievably aromatic bean, but seven times the cost of these beans!?!?!? I think I'll just buy these and use twice as many as the higher quality beans. I'm still making away like a bandit!

I can't say enough good things about JR Mushrooms. These are top-quality chef inspired vanilla beans. I got them primaraily for my creme brulee.
Another plus was the free shipping which really helps a struggling young chef like myself. The only slight dissappointment was that there was no "Best Creme Brulee" recipe enclosed. No problem for me as I've memorized the procedure.
I can say this: You won't be dissappointed by this product. Use it in whatever calls for vanilla, even ice cream!
