BroncosFan2010 Posted December 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I will be touring most of the Caribbean next year and am looking for the best places (Not Mexico) to pick up Vanilla and Vanilla beans. Any suggestions or ideas is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzermon Posted December 23, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I have seen vanilla beans sold in the market in Martinique, and I bought some over a year ago at the Marigot Market in St. Martin. The ironic thing is, I thought I'd gotten a great deal at 4 beans for $5, but then found out Costco sells a 10 pack for around $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look in Marigot on my next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLP1 Posted December 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I Agree Costco. No customs dog sniffing my shopping cart as I leave the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peabody99 Posted January 18, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I got some really nice beans in Grenada (i think it is the spice island after all!) I also got some pure extract in Martinque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m steve Posted January 19, 2010 #10 Share Posted January 19, 2010 they charge &7.25 for 3 beans and $28.65 for 15 either Mexican or Magagascar. I think these are larger beans than you find in the supermarket. another choice is to buy the vanilla rums from the Caribbean and add it to the recipe instead of the extract so you get a double kick of flavor and alcohol.
