Best Vanilla Pods I've ever used....Well and truely worth the money!!!!
These pods are amazing!!!Its well worth paying that little extra for the "Gourmet" pods as they are so much plumper and full of flavour as opposed to buying the cheaper pods.The second you open the pack you can instantly smell the difference between these ones and the cheaper "extract grade" pods.I have always gone for the extract grade when doing up my own extract but this time I decided to see what the difference was between the two and Im glad I did. I divided these 10 pods into 3 x 90ml jars and topped up with vodka. Normally I would leave these jars for a few months at least before using but after just 2 weeks of sitting in my store cupboard, you could see the flavours had been drawn out into the vodka and ready to use.It is so different to the extract grade pods which tend to have an almost stale kind of after-taste and smell.....whereas these are just bursting with flavour and caviare.I would definitely recommend paying just that little bit more for these Gourmet pods as you will find that in the long run, these will actually go a lot further and provide you with a far more superior extract than the cheaper ones. I know I will never go back to the extract grade again and thanks to this purchase, I won't need to buy more for quite some time.Way to go VanillaMart..thanks!!!!

Fragrant, great value and quite simply delicious
The sweet smoky aroma of authentic Madagascan Vanilla is second to none.The only problem I've ever found with using Vanilla is the extract is never strong enough, the paste is full of sugar and the so-called essence isn't even made from real vanilla. So, only the beans will do. However, they're stupendously expensive in the supermarkets (£2-5 for a small pod).Now the savvy shopper can get 10 superior plump pods for the price of around 3. It's a no brainer.I used mine to make Cinnamon & Vanilla Almond milk, it was delicious.

Bought it to make vanilla essence for my friend who bakes a lot to say thank you for running me around as my car is no longer. Came out as quite expensive as had to buy the vodka to make the extract but felt obliged to drink the rest of the vodka myself. My friend loves it.

Previously bought the pack of 20 and LOVE them. Then bought these 10 pack as they were on prime and not happy as all the pods were dried up and hard to cut and de-seed.
