We are Canada's Online Source for Vanilla Beans!

The term 'plain vanilla' certainly does not apply to the vanilla bean. After using real vanilla beans, it is easy to understand how this spice has become the cornerstone of pastry and baking. Vanilla beans are the most costly form of vanilla flavouring, but are without question the best.

We import our vanilla beans directly from Madagascar, Uganda and Papua New Guinea. This allows us to provide our customers with the highest quality vanilla beans at the best prices possible.

Our Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans are rich in natural vanillin and carry the classic vanilla flavour. These beans have a smooth, rich, sweet flavor and are the thinnest of the vanilla beans grown. Bourbon beans are highly prized by professional pastry chefs and bakers. Our Madagascar beans carry the well-earned reputation as being premium quality products and exhibit a sweet vanilla aroma that is almost caramel in flavour.

Our Ugandan Bourbon vanilla beans are USDA Certified Organic and Fair Trade Certified. Moist, plump with a strong aroma, our Ugandan beans are similar in quality to our popular Madagascar-grown beans.

We also carry Tahitian vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea (PNG). Tahitian beans are typically more plump than Bourbon beans and contain less vanillin. This results in a flavour quite different than Madagascar Bourbon beans. Our Tahitian beans carry a sweet, floral flavour with undertones of anise and licorice.

Our Pure Vanilla Powder is made from dried and ground Madagascar vanilla beans are also available in varying sizes. Our vanilla powder is 100% pure with only a single ingredient - ground vanilla beans.

Bulk Pricing Available:
Foodservice and industrial clients requiring bulk volumes are welcome. We specialize in vanilla and are ready to fulfill large quanitity orders on short notice. Take advantage of price savings when ordering in bulk. Our webstore is setup to handle bulk purchases up to 9 lbs. Feel free to contact us at info@vanillafoodcompany.com if you require vanilla in quantities 10 lbs are larger. We will be more than happy to provide you with pricing.

How to Store Vanilla Beans:
Keep the vanilla in an airtight container (we recommend a glass jar) at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. Kept this way, it can be stored for 12 months. Do not worry if you see whitish powder on the surface of the beans for those are vanillin crystals - gold of the vanilla bean!

Please note that our vanilla bean prices are based on the global vanilla market. These prices are constantly fluctuating based on global supply and demand. By pricing our vanilla beans according to these market conditions, we are able to offer our customers fair prices for top quality vanilla beans. However, please note that our vanilla prices will change from time to time.

Extraction grade beans are typically used by the large vanilla extract manufacturers. These extraction grade beans from Madagascar exhibit amazing aroma and flavour. However, they are drier than Grade A vanilla beans. Additionally, these beans contain uneven lengths, and you may receive split beans within your batch. In general, these are not the 'prettiest' looking vanilla beans. But if appearance is not an issue, they provide excellent value for certified organic vanilla!
