what is the difference between the :One 1 Pound LB Madagascar Bourbon Planifolia Extract Grade B and 1 lb Madagascar bourbon a/b splits
776266
Madagascar is just where they're grown. They splits are usually more flavorful and better for making vanilla extract.
776267
"Splits" are often preferred by the larger vanilla extract makers because they usually have a higher vanillin content than whole beans. These are not "used" beans - they split on the vine or during curing. Great for making vanilla extract (8 ounces of beans will make one quart of vanilla extract) or vanilla sugar. They are not suitable for scraping out the caviar (nor are extract grade B whole beans)

well to what I see the 90 that I purchased came in blister packets not a bottle. so if you are interested in freshness the 90 count looks like it would be a better choice. same price per count and you save by not having to buy as often also(shipping)

According to the bottle it uses Vanilla planifolia, which is the species known as Madagascar or Bourbon vanilla and is the species most commonly used in cooking. Strictly speaking, Madagascar/Bourbon vanilla would be Vanilla planifolia that was actually grown in that region of the world. Mexican vanilla, for example, is Vanilla planifolia grown in Mexico. Tahitian vanilla, in contrast, is from a different orchid.

I'm not a seller. I would like to suggest that you also focus on the differences between Grade A and Grade B vanilla beans. If you are making vanilla extract, as I did, then you only need Grade B beans. You would be wasting your money on Grade A beans. But for some baking things Grade A beans would be better. Also, as I said in my original review, I recommend you buy beans based on weight and not the number of beans, as the size of beans can vary greatly. I have had rave reviews on my vanilla extract using Tahitian Grade B beans. It's unbelievable how much better it is than the extract sold in grocery stores. I'm not a seller.

Splits are cut lengthwise, 6"-7" gives the length of the bean. B grade means the bean is not as pretty/presentable do to some dehydration. A grade is plump and pretty, used for presentation/garnish.

A is the standard, B is depreciated. However, as long as you are consistent in your selection, it works the same.

Olive Nation is the company name; Madagascar Bourbon is a type of vanilla bean, and it makes a wonderful vanilla extract!

I've done tests with Holle level 1 weighing what comes out of the brezza at the 2 ounce setting with a hand made bottle with two scoops filled to an identical water level in both bottles. I've determined that 8 is a bout 1 gram light on two ounces of formula, which is not insignificant. I switched it to setting 7 and have run the tests several more times and they have come out almost identical every time with a small margin of error. I would strongly recommend using level 7 for Holle level 1.

Grade B is a darker, amber color-to me it is more flavorful than Grade A. Highly recommended.

as best i know this vanilla extract does not contain coumarin or tonka bean extract. i understand coumarin is used as an artificial vanilla flavoring and nielsen-massey's product is madagascar bourbon pure vanilla extract. the label ingredients list reads: water, alcohol (35%), sugar, vanilla bean extractives. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract = 1 vanilla bean. hope this helps.

Grade B is from the end of the harvest. It is darker in color, deeper in taste and contains more nutrients than grade A. Think dark chocolate vs milk chocolate... Hope that helps.

The 2 you are asking about are pharma grades. if you look at the ingredients the b's are derived from food not chems for natural absorption.

I have the one in pink & white box. The difference is, the pink & white says Extra strength. Also, the gold and white says "with Grape seed extract" as the pink and white does not. Both have AminoMar Marine complex. Pink and white is taken 2xper day. Not sure what makes it Extra Strength.

Sorry for late reply Tanya....just catching up on email. Grade B is much much darker in color, has more maple flavor, and is richer in minerals. It is usually used in baking, and some that use it on pancakes, etc. say that they use less because of it's thicker richer flavor. I personally, use it (or local honey) for anything I want to sweeten! Once you've had real Grade B, you will most definitely be able to tell the difference! Enjoy!

It takes more maple sap to produce grade B than grade A. I think it has more flavor and use in making granola etc. I mix a little with cheaper syrup for pancakes.

since living in Vermont many years ago, I have used only Grade B because it's flavor is so much more intense and and delicious -- to me, Grade A is almost bland by comparison. Highland Sugarworks prodcues a Grade B in a bottle that is especially for cooking and I believe that is even a bit stronger.
