Peru V. pompona Vanilla Beans (Whole or Chopped)

These V. pompona vanilla beans from Perú are rare and so interesting! They are much larger than other types of vanilla beans, having a thick, wide pod. They grow natively in Perú and are pollinated by bees. They have fragrance notes that are very floral and raisin-like. A wonderful addition to any vanilla bean stash! Purchase of these beans supports the native farmers who grow them. Because they are grown in their native environment they are a very sustainable option! We have two options available for sale, whole beans or chopped beans. The chopped beans work great for extract.  The large whole beans vary, but can weigh in at 1 to 4 beans in an ounce.
