FREE: Vanilla Beans - going, going, about to be gone!

The listing, Vanilla Beans - going, going, about to be gone! has ended.

Whole vanilla beans, ready to use in potpourri or other crafts. I recently sold some of these for someone to use in a festive table display; you could also cut them up & simmer in some water for a natural air-freshener - people will wonder what you've been baking! Last minute gift idea: since the scent of real vanilla is thought to have calming properties, make up some sachets or vials for stress-relief during this busy season.

These beans are 5 1/2" to 6" long. They were fully matured before they were picked (the tips turn yellow when the pods are ready for harvest). Then they were sun-cured and aged in boxes for three months. They aged an additional year in airtight packaging before I opened them to use!

I will send you 3 genuine Tahitian Vanilla beans (vanilla tahitiensis) wrapped in plastic.

I am not a supplier - I got an amazing deal on a pound of these and have been selling off what's left after making my own Christmas gifts - I'm down to the last few and will not have these after Christmas - this is the LAST AUCTION where these will be offered - so if you want them, get them now.

NOTE: These are food grade but per Listia rules, I am not offering these for use in food.
