How To Use Vanilla Beans

You first need to remove the seeds by carefully slitting the vanilla bean pod in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Then scrape the pod from top to bottom using the dull side of the blade to remove the seeds and immediately use the seeds in your recipe.

Vanilla Bean Paste

Vanilla bean paste is the ideal ingredient when you want to use vanilla bean seeds but don’t have a vanilla bean. This paste is made by blending ground vanilla beans with concentrated vanilla extract.
