TIPS TO IMPROVE THE LIFE OF VANILLA BEANS

• Storage: If you want to keep the beans soft and supple and give them a longer shelf life, the experts recommend submerging them in 70-90 proof alcohol. It prevents mold growth and breakage. The vanilla beans might react differently if stored outside the alcohol. However, if you don’t want to put them in liquid, they should be aired regularly. Remove the beans from the container every few weeks to circulate the air for approximately 10-15 minutes. For more information in this regard, read our blog - how to store vanilla beans blog. 

• Re-use vanilla pods: If you want to make vanilla sugar, storing the empty vanilla pods might be helpful. Take two or three crushed vanilla bean pods and put them in a jar and mix it with 3/4th cup of sugar. Mix all together for one or two weeks to make it ready to use and prepare vanilla powder.
