• Use grade B beans, also known as the extract bean, they are dryer and more full of flavor. Grade A is more plump/wet, but they make a lighter/not as stronge in flavor as the Grade B. 1 vanilla bean is equal to 1 Tablespoon vanilla Paste. 1 Ounce of Vanilla Paste is equal to 1 Tablespoon. shopping list

• My homemade vanilla paste calls for 10 post-extracted, vanilla beans, so these used above after 2 times of making the vanilla extract. So you can use 8 beans and just use 8 beans in the vanilla paste, or use 10 and use all 10 beans in the paste. Either way NOTHING of the beans will be wasted! shopping list
