Opening a pouch of Ugandan vanilla beans for the first time is a memorable experience. Your nose will be met with a familiar vanilla smell, but with hints of raisins or figs. As you remove one of these plump vanilla beans from the pouch, you will be intrigued by its soft texture and its plump appearance. As you smell the individual bean, the fruity base will become more pronounced, evoking thoughts of cinnamon rolls, banana breads, orange rolls and other fruit-based baking applications that are perfect for this vanilla bean.
The soil and climate of Uganda provide an environment that results in a bold and earthy vanilla bean taste with hints of figs and raisins, accentuated only by the vanilla bean's natural rich and buttery softer vanilla notes. Ugandan vanilla beans typically contain a higher-than-average vanillin content. This makes them perfect for vanilla extracts along with darker chocolate, sweet breads, fruit-based desserts or strong vanilla desserts.
We sell by the ounce, not by the bean, to ensure that you get the same amount every time no matter the bean size of any particular harvest.
Ugandan vanilla beans are a favorite in baking and DIY extract making with a fruit sensation that enhances your favorite tarts, pies, custards and creams.
VanillaPura vanilla beans are all shipped vacuum sealed for freshness and should be stored unrefrigerated in a cool, dry and dark place.
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.
I just received my shipment of beans and let me tell you that they smell Devine. I cant wait to sample this next year. Received well packaged and at the time frame they listed on the website. Great customer service.
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.
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. 💕
Jugosa, prominente, simplemente maravillosa, yo la use para hacer pasta de vainillas, quedo espectacular.
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!
Love Ugandan beans. They were plump and oily.
I love these beans so much, I needed to buy a whole pound! They smell wonderful and produce a delicious extract!
These beams were top notch!
Looking forward to comparing these Ugandan beans in extract with the Madagascar beans in extract. Now just have to wait…
Anything i get from VanillaPura is a 10 out of 10! I can not recommend them enough! Even if there is an issue they are quick to handle it! The beans are always plump and moist making the best extracts, sugars, pastes and so much more!!!
Ugandan beans have long been one of my favorite beans to extract. VanillaPura supplies top quality beans that surpass expectations!
Awesome Uganda. I started so many various alcohols extracting.
I am SO excited to purchase four more ounces of my second favorite bean. Rich and smooth…beautiful flavor panel. Don’t leave these out of your vanilla extracting collection.
Very good quality.
They are gorgeous!! So oily and the aroma is to die for!
Uganda is definitely my favorite bean. Just finished up an Ugandan double fold in Rum.
Ugandan vanilla beans are great for fruity recipes. I love their smooth flavor. They are great in Mary Terberg's Rum Raisin Liqueur Among many others!
They are soaking in golden rum.18 -24 months to go
Just received my Ugandan beans today. I am looking forward to getting them swimming in the next few days.
Love the smell and how plump they are
Excellent. As always
I just received my Ugandan beans so I haven't gotten them swimming yet. I am very anxious to taste them next year.
I love my Ugandan vanilla so am looking forward to getting these beans swimming as soon as I can get to the liquor store.
Looking forward to getting these beans swimming. Haven’t decided which alcohol to pick.
These are wonderful beans and I absolutely love the finished extract with them.
Lovely beans and they smell amazing. They will be swimming in 360 Double Chocolate Vodka for 1 year for some amazing extract. ♥️ Thank you to my amazing Bean Angel! ❤️❤️
The Ugandan beans are quite possibly my favorite bean. They are big, oily and smell beautiful. They were my very first VanillaPura purchase and I love them so much, that I’ve purchased them 3 times now. Will definitely buy them again!
