Beautiful Buttery Ugandan Beans, by the pound!

My beautiful , oily, fragrant Ugandan beans arrived yesterday. Ugandans are some of my very favorite vanilla beans, prompting me to give considerable thought to how I wanted to best use them.

I have more than an ample supply of mature vanilla extracts and made a batch of vanilla bean paste earlier this summer…I decided to create three 24 oz each double fold extracts with my pound of Ugandan beans.

Vodka will provide a thick Ugandan extract next year. Gold Rum will mature in early 2028 and KCSM will be well ripened in time for Christmas 2028 baking…though I’ll prolly let that sit longer to get even richer.

I love the monthly buys, whether keeping the pound for my own use or for splitting it with extracting friends. Thank you VP for making wonderful bean varieties available at affordable prices.

Making vanilla extract is like watching paint dry only on a much higher level! There is something about creating a homemade extract that makes me happy. I can't explain it. VanillaPura the Company itself is like none other I've ever come across, they extract Goodness. These Uganda beans (1 lb) from the April Group buy are are currently extracting in the Woodford Reserve and the Bumbu Rum.

Worth the wait

I just received my June Group Buy Ugandan beans. They are nicely plump for a skinny bean. They are also very oily which is nice to make vanilla sugar! I’m using these beans to make an extract and a sipping whiskey for my niece and her soon to be husband. They are marrying this weekend 6-28-25 and their honeymoon is an African Safari. Hence the African beans! I put only one bean in 4 ounces of Woodford Reserve for the sipper. Just to get the essence of vanilla. He is a whiskey connoisseur (for real) so I’m not quite sure how he feels about flavors. The rest of the beans went to the extract.
I’m very pleased, as always, with the quality of Vanilla Pura products. I am a customer for life. 💕

We Really Love the Grade A Ugandan Beans from Vanilla Pura

We really love the Grade A Ugandan Beans from Vanilla Pura. We make crafted vanilla extracts and vanilla pastes, and we have found that the Ugandan Bean is a very versatile and unique bean for both. The quality of the Ugandan beans that we receive from Vanilla Pura is top notch -- plump, moist, and perfect for extracts and pastes!
