Vanilla that’s naturally grown, carefully sourced, and crafted with care. Watch Bhurama agri’s journey from soil to table and discover more at bhurama.com.
Vanilla comes from the pods of an orchid, and its flavour develops after the pods are cured and dried. Bhurama agri sells natural, farm sourced vanilla in several forms: whole bean pods, 5-fold vanilla extract, vanilla paste and vanilla powder.
The Grade A and Grade A+ pods are from Karnataka. Grade A comes in 25 g packs of 8 to 9 pods, 50 g packs of 14 to 15 pods and 100 g packs of 20 to 25 pods. Grade A+ comes in 50 g packs of 12 to 14 pods and 100 g packs of 20 to 25 pods. A 2-pod tube pack of the Madagascar variety is also available.
Home bakers split a pod lengthwise and scrape out the tiny seeds for custards, ice cream, cakes and cookies. The empty pod can be left in a jar of sugar or a pan of milk to add aroma. The extract is made purely from vanilla beans with nothing else added, and because it is 5-fold, a little goes a long way. Paste suits frostings and batters, and powder mixes easily into dry ingredients.
