These sweet, aromatic pods have been gently dried to preserve their flavour.

To remove the seeds, cut the bean lengthwise and use the edge of a spoon to scrape them out. Put the remaining outer bean in custards or into a jar filled with sugar.

Vanilla sugar is handy as a topper for desserts. Nothing beats the intense, aromatic flavour that comes from using real vanilla beans.
