Questions people ask.
How do I order?
Put your choice together above and send it on WhatsApp. Gustu replies with what is in stock this season and the price. You pay and pick up at the farm.
Can you send vanilla abroad?
Ask Gustu on WhatsApp. What is possible depends on the country you live in, so he will tell you honestly before you order.
How long do the beans keep?
In the sealed bag, in a cool and dark cupboard, they stay soft and fragrant for well over a year. Once opened, keep them in a closed glass jar.
Why do the lengths differ?
Every pod grows differently. Long beans are usually plumper with more seeds, short beans have the same taste in a smaller package and are perfect for sugar and extract.
