Vanilla Beans – Grade B Extract Quality

Salimpex Uganda – Grade B Extract Quality

Ugandan vanilla beans are among the most aromatic and flavour-forward varieties in the world. Each pod is hand-selected and traditionally fermented to develop its signature sweet, chocolate-spiced scent. This Grade B variant features drier, slimmer pods — ideal for home extract-making, grinding, and vanilla sugar. Their lower moisture content accelerates aroma release, making them a smart, everyday choice for the kitchen.
