Split one lengthwise and the seeds lift out in a glossy black ribbon; one pod is enough to speckle a quart of custard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuppleness is the whole point of Grade A. A fresh pod bends around your finger without cracking, opens clean under the tip of a paring knife, and scrapes in one pass instead of crumbling, which matters most when the seeds end up somewhere people can see them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse these where vanilla carries the dessert: crème brûlée, pastry cream, ice-cream base, panna cotta. Steep the scraped pod in the warm cream along with the seeds; it has more to give than the scrape alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd when the pod has given everything to the custard, it isn't done. Rinse it, dry it, and bury it in a jar of sugar. Two weeks later you have vanilla sugar for the top of every shortbread you bake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Origin Craft","offers":[{"title":"15 count","offer_id":67527074513066,"sku":"OC-GA-08","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 count","offer_id":67527074545834,"sku":"OC-GA-09","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 count","offer_id":67527074578602,"sku":"OC-GA-010","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":49126504890538,"sku":"OC-GA-16","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/8464\/3242\/files\/grade_a_shop.png?v=1787706263"},{"product_id":"extract-grade-vanilla-beans-grade-b","title":"Extract-Grade Vanilla Beans, Grade B","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe extract grade: drier, leaner pods that carry less water and more vanilla per pound. This is the bean for the jar, and for any bake where the pod steeps and is strained out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDryness is not a flaw here; it is the specification. A Grade B pod looks leaner and feels stiffer than its Grade A sibling because more of its weight is vanilla and less of it is water. It will not scrape prettily, and it does not need to; nobody sees the pod in a bottle of extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe jar method takes five or six of these per cup of plain vodka and a few months of patience.

Where extract wants liquid, powder goes in dry: sugar doughs, shortbread, crumbles, hot chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowder is for the bakes where liquid is unwelcome. Extract carries its flavor in alcohol, and in a dry dough that alcohol has nowhere to go; powder just folds in.
