lasekeye Posted April 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2018 In less than 2 weeks we will be cruising to Mexico. I have promised to bring home some Mexican Vanilla. I’m hoping someone can suggest where to buy vanilla that won’t be “fake for the tourists “, but not too far from the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping someone can suggest where to buy vanilla that won’t be “fake for the tourists “, but not too far from the cruise port. The Walmart across the street from the port in PV is the closest. 75 pesos for a large bottle. You can pay in dollars but your change will be in Pesos.

KroozNut Posted April 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Buying it at Walmart doesn't necessarily mean it is high quality, pure or even safe. Have to be careful when buying Vanilla in Mexico to ensure you're getting the 'real thing', and more importantly, that it is safe. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Healthday/story?id=6157423&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasekeye Posted April 17, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks for the info, it sounds pretty easy. Have you purchased and tried the large bottles for that great price? I’m worried that it will be the imitation or poor quality type, it sounds too good to be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 4cats4me Posted April 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Be careful about the vanilla in Mexico. It can affect you if you’re on blood thinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gubba23 Posted April 21, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2018 We got to Mexico quite often and come home with vanilla each time. We typically purchase the vanilla at one of the street vendors right as you get off of the ship in Puerto Vallarta. If I can figure out how to post a photo, I can take a picture of the vanilla we bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Walmart also sells vanilla beans. Vanilla Beans soaked in vodka make vanilla. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissetbevo Posted May 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2018 We bought 100% vanilla at the PV Walmart. None of the vendors or little shops at markets had 100% vanilla in the 4 ports at which we stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bellamarie Posted June 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Walmart also sells vanilla beans. Vanilla Beans soaked in vodka make vanilla. THIS!! It is STUPID easy to make and tastes so good! Vanilla beans in a big mason jar, fill up with cheap hootch (vanilla or rum) let it sit for a bit and you have the best vanilla ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
