Usage Suggestions 

• Culinary Applications
  • Split lengthwise and scrape seeds into pastry creams, crème anglaise, whipped cream, ice creams, cheesecakes, cakes, frostings, and cookies. 
  • Infuse into syrups, sugar, liqueurs, coffee, hot chocolate, tea, smoothies, milkshakes, and rum. Experiment in savory dishes like white meats, seafood, roasted vegetables, or tomato soup.

• Beyond the Kitchen: 

  • Steep used pods in alcohol (like vodka) to create homemade vanilla extract. 
  • Optionally grind dried, used pods with sugar to create vanilla-flavored powdered sugar or infuse into sugar jars. 
  • Use in homemade cosmetics like perfumes, soaps, or infused body oils. 
  • Utilize in aromatherapy for its calming and stress-reducing aroma. 

Storage Recommendations 

• Store in a cool, dark, and airtight container away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage is crucial to maintain their moisture, flexibility, and aromatic compounds. 
• Do not refrigerate, as this can dry out the pods and lead to mold. 
• For optimal freshness, wrap individual pods in plastic wrap or wax paper before placing them in an airtight glass jar. 
• If pods become dry, they can be rehydrated by gently warming them in milk or syrup.
