Our bamboo tubes of vanilla are a bit dry and stiff, but still extraordinarily fragrant, perfect for vanilla extract, vanilla sugar, homemade vanilla powder or for infusing in cream for outta-this-world homemade ice cream or whipped cream.

Also available as vanilla powder and vanilla extract kits.

Our Nyanza Vanilla is grown in the hills around Nyanza (aka Lake Victoria) in Tanzania, where the altitude, rich soil and temperate climate produce an especially rich, sweet vanilla.

This Grade A Nyanza Vanilla comes in a bamboo tube or plastic container with an inner pouch or pouches that keep the vanilla pods fresh. Cut the pods open and scrape the seeds into custards, ice cream or other rich desserts (use the empty pods for vanilla sugar!). Or infuse them with alcohol of your choice for homemade extract.
