Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known to humanity. It was mentioned in the Bible, used in ancient Egypt and has caused countries to go to war.

Alba Grade Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Quills
Sri Lankan Cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon is often times referred to as true cinnamon at least scientifically and historically speaking. Other cinnamons, while of the same genus, are technically cassia bark. Cassia cinnamon is cheaper and produces a more harsh and spicy type of cinnamon flavor. For the sake of trade and purchase today, all species are considered cinnamon and true cinnamon is the scientific literal translation from its original latin origins. Ceylon Cinnamon while less common and more expensive than cassia cinnamon is favored by pastry Chefs in Europe for its soft, delicate and cleaner cinnamon flavor. A large difference between Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia Cinnamon is that Ceylon Cinnamon is filled like a cigar and its flesh is soft and brittle and easily broken by hand whereas Cassia Cinnamon or Cassia bark is hardier and woodier and do not break easily.

- Cinnamon is sourced from the bark of various species of the genus Cinnamomum. Cinnamomum is tree-farmed in much of Asia, though primarily in Indonesia, China, and Vietnam. Our Cinnamon Comes from Sri Lanka, formerly known as the colony of Ceylon, taste and see the difference, you may just never go back.

To Produce Ceylon Cinnamon
a tree is grown for about 2 years. It is chopped down to a stump, from which dozens of small shoots will spring up. The shoots are allowed to mature and thicken to about two inches in diameter. After the green outer bark is shaved off, the inner bark is bruised and struck evenly until it releases from the heart of the wood. This inner bark is then removed in large sheets, cut into strips, and air-dried. These strips are then curled into quills of cinnamon that are then further dried in ovens or by baking them outside under the sun. After achieving a sufficient tan, the quills are sent on their way to the world.
-
Sri Lankan cinnamon (aka: Ceylon cinnamon) is smooth and aromatic with hints of citrus, sugar, and butter. That complex aroma is a perfect all-purpose cinnamon for using in curries, stews, and pastries. Try dusting over oatmeal or mixing with sugar on buttered toast. We highly recommend using this cinnamon in the Mexican drink horchata or the English egg nog.

These extraction grade vanilla beans are a blend of Vanilla Planifolia and Vanilla Tahitensis, suited specifically for making vanilla extract from scratch. As is the case with all Grade B Vanilla Beans, these beans are not perfect in appearance, but beautiful nonetheless. Extraction grade vanilla beans are the most economical choice; and because the vanillin is more concentrated than Grade A beans, they are perfect for producing a flavorful vanilla extract. Whether you're a seasoned vanilla connoisseur or a vanilla bean novice, extract vanilla beans are a great choice for gifting, baking, or any recipe that calls for vanilla extract.
Extraction grade vanilla beans are the same as gourmet vanilla, and in the case of ours, they are even grown on the same farms that supply our Grade A beans. They simply do not meet our stringent Grade A standard. As is the case with all extract grade vanilla, our beans often contain minor cuts, splits, and other imperfections of natural processing. Grade B vanilla beans range from very dry to moist but are not typically as moist as Grade A beans (which leads to that concentrated vanilla flavor). They are often shorter than their gourmet counterpart and are not uniform in size. -
Grade B Vanilla Beans for Making Extract
- These beans, while not uniform in size, average 12-14 cm in length.
- When you buy these beans, you are getting vanilla beans of mixed origin. Each package will contain Vanilla Tahitensis and Vanilla Planifolia.
- While the moisture content of Grade B Vanilla Beans does vary, each bean ranges from 23-28 percent moisture content.
- As is the case with all Extraction Grade Vanilla Beans, ours contain minor imperfections, such as cuts, splits, and bruising. Such imperfections are purely aesthetic, the bean itself is filled with concentrated flavor!

A little-known fact about vanilla beans:
In 1841 a 12-year-old slave by the name of Edmond Albius resided on the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean and made a discovery that would change the culinary world forever. He found that the delicate vanilla orchid could be hand-pollinated. You see, up until this realization, vanilla orchids were only pollinated by a small, stingless bee called the Melipona, and some varieties of hummingbirds, which hindered global cultivation of the Vanilla beans. With Albius' discovery came greater cultivation and distribution potential.

Extraction Grade Vanilla Beans from Tahiti
Grade B Vanilla is an ideal choice for making homemade vanilla extract and other recipes requiring lengthy infusion times. Think beyond vanilla extract from scratch and purpose your extraction grade vanilla Tahitensis for brewing beer or making wine. Vanilla Tahitensis is also the preferred choice for contributing fragrance, adding a floral aroma to soaps, perfumes, shampoos, conditioners, and other items without overpowering the senses.
Our Grade B vanilla beans from Tahiti are typically 14 cm or less, not uniform in length, and are sold by the ounce. As is the case with all extraction grade vanilla, our Tahitian vanilla for making extract and more contain cosmetic blemishes, are sometimes split or cracked, or scared. While they are not perfect in appearance, these Grade B vanilla beans are produced in the islands of Tahiti and are nothing short of remarkable. They are produced on the same farm as our grade A vanilla beans, but simply do not fit into stringent gourmet classification.
Extraction grade Tahitian vanilla beans are soft and pliable but better utilized by chopping to make vanilla extract. This method of chopping the vanilla beans is less time consuming and results in a superior vanilla extract. The standard ratio for making single fold vanilla extract with any vanilla bean is .83 ounces of vanilla to every one cup solvent like vodka, bourbon, brandy, or rum; a food-grade vegetable glycerin can also be used for a nonalcoholic version of vanilla extract. We personally find vegetable glycerin to be overly sweet but it is a great alternative for those with gluten allergies or just an aversion to alcohol and still wish to enjoy cooking with vanilla extract. For step-by-step instructions on making a homemade vanilla extract, check out this article or this video.

Tip for using spent vanilla pod:
A great use for leftover vanilla bean pods is to turn them into vanilla sugar. This can be done a two ways:
- Cut the vanilla bean pods into one inch pieces (about 2-3 pods to 2 cups of granulated sugar). Seal in an airtight jar and allow to sit 1-2 weeks. Use normally as you would plain, granulated sugar.
- The second method is to dry the vanilla bean pods using a food dyhdrator or by setting your oven on low and allowing the vanilla bean pods to dry out. Once dry, break the beans and place in a coffee mill or spice grinder (if you've used the coffee mill to grind coffee, make sure you clean it well before grinding the vanilla). Grind until desired consistency. This adds a nice visual touch to your vanilla sugar to go with the sweet delicate flavor.
