We suggest to open the package only at usage. We recommend to remove the beans from the package after opening. Keep in mind that you might see a brown liquid throughout the vacuum sealed packaging. Do not be concerned for this liquid is simply oil squeezed from the vanilla beans during the vacuum sealing process.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter opening the vacuum pack bag, we recommend to wrap your vanilla beans in either wax paper or plastic wrap and store in an airtight glass or Tupperware container. Be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible from the container to prevent the vanilla beans from drying out.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou should never store your vanilla beans in the refrigerator. Refrigeration will dry out your beans and excess moisture can promote a particular type of mold specific to vanilla. We recommend storing your airtight container in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or basement.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVanilla beans should be aired regularly. Simply remove the beans from the container every few weeks to circulate the air for approximately 10-15 minutes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLife Span\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVanilla beans that have been stored correctly in ideal conditions can last upwards to two years. We recommend buying quantities that you intend on using within 6-8 months.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDry or Moldy Vanilla Beans\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf your vanilla beans have dried out, you can re-hydrate them in either milk or warm water for several hours. If your vanilla beans appear to contain \"frost\", do not mistake this as mold. Frosty Vanillin crystals can develop on vanilla beans as the vanillin inside the bean migrates to the surface while the beans dry. These crystals appear shiny and are edible. If you do suspect actual mold, please discard the vanilla beans.","brand":"Design \u0026 Realisation","offers":[{"title":"100gr (3.5oz)","offer_id":32680073003079,"sku":"SAVAN0013","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250gr (8.8oz)","offer_id":32680073035847,"sku":"SV250VABE","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg (2.2lbs)","offer_id":32680073068615,"sku":"SV1KGVABE","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1995\/3407\/products\/SV100VABE-Bourbon-Vanilla-Beans-Madagascar-Bulk-Gousse-Vanille-Vrac.jpg?v=1605367110","url":"https:\/\/dr.ca\/en-us\/products\/bourbon-vanilla-beans-from-madagascar","provider":"Design \u0026 Realisation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
