Why store vanilla beans properly?
Vanilla beans are delicate and require special care to preserve their aroma. Poorly stored, they can dry out, lose their suppleness or even develop mold. By following good practices, you can extend their shelf life while preserving their natural flavors.
Ideal storage conditions
For optimum storage, place your vanilla beans in an airtight container, preferably glass, and store them in a cool, dark and damp place. Good insulation prevents the beans from absorbing external odors that could alter their taste. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
Mistakes to avoid when storing
Avoid storing vanilla beans in the refrigerator, as this can lead to condensation and mold growth. In addition, plastic containers are not recommended, as they may adversely affect flavor preservation.
How to revive dry vanilla beans?
Even when your vanilla beans seem dry or brittle, they can still be used. Soak them in lukewarm water for a few minutes to rehydrate them. You can also grind them to create vanilla sugar, or add them to an infusion.
Tips for prolonging the freshness of vanilla beans
To prevent your vanilla beans from drying out, add a small amount of sugar or a few drops of alcohol to your airtight container. These tips help maintain their natural moisture content, while prolonging their freshness and flavor.
