FITNCLEAN HERBS AND SPICES is a family owned agribusiness which is centered and focused on vanilla beans. We import the finest vanilla beans across the globe, notably from Madagascar, Tahiti, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

We source directly from the farmer to the end-user, sidelining the middlemen hence we are able to offer competitive prices. Also, due to our direct sourcing business model, we are able to shorten the distribution time and limit the storage duration which enables us to offer consistently fresh and fragrance-full vanilla pods to our clients.

While we have incorporated different quality checks along the way to make sure the beans that are delivered to you are of the appropriate quality, we understand that the entire process of making finished vanilla bean pods, even the final packaging itself is a tedious manual process. So, any concerns, we like to hear about it.

Any Issues?

Let us resolve it.

Tahitian Vanilla, unlike the Madagascar Bourbon species (Vanilla planifolia) is only a small fraction of the world’s natural vanilla production and deservedly nicknamed “The Queen of Vanilla”.

It has a floral taste and fragrance, different from the Madagascar Bourbon species. The bean pod is also stouter (plumper) than the Madagascar Bourbon species, and has higher oil and moisture content.

Plump, supple, dense with seeds, oily moist, dark-brown-to-black color, at least 6” long with rich floral aroma. Tahitian Grade A vanilla bean pod typically has vanillin content of ~2.5%; moisture of ~30 -35%. As they age, they may develop the remarkable crystal-like features, the expression of high vanillin content. Great for all vanilla uses - cooking, baking, brewing, extract.

The Grade A/B is often gourmet grade with some imperfections - splits or scratches, flatter and/or thinner (low seed density); and lower moisture content (~27-30%) than a typical grade A. It can be used for cooking, baking, brewing as well as extraction.

Grade B is considered as the extract grade. The Tahitian Grade B pods are moist and fresh. They have a relatively lower moisture content (25-28%) and are shorter than the gourmet grade A. Typical length is ~4"-6" and may or maynot have blemishes such as splits or scratches. They may also have lower seed density. Nevertheless, they still maintain the Tahitian floral aromatic characteristics. Great for extract and brewing.

Split open or chop into pieces FITNCLEAN vanilla bean pods into a clean coverable jar containing vodka or your choice alcoholic spirit (~50g vanilla pods for every 16 oz. alcohol). You can scale up or down using the stated ratio as a guide but make sure there is enough alcohol to completely submerge the beans. Tightly close the jar and allow content to macerate for about 6-8 weeks or longer while shaking periodically (every 3-5 days).

The recommendation for pure vanilla-alcohol extract solution is ≥ 100 g of vanilla bean pod per liter using a 35% or greater alcohol.

Different types of alcoholic spirits are used but Vodka and Rum are the most commonly used. Vegetable glycerin oil is also used sometimes.
