Why is grade B vanilla bean a better and an excellent choice to make vanilla extract?
Grade B vanilla bean has less moisture (usually below 25%) compared to grade A (usually around 30%) so the extract is more concentrated flavor. Not only the 25% moisture complies with the FDA regulations, but it also brings a stronger taste. While not suited for culinary presentation, their value lies in their ability to yield a velvety, full-bodied vanilla essence, perfect for enhancing your favorite recipes.
