Post-harvest process

Size and weight

Photographs measuring and weighing the bean shown, not a specification for stock.

Length documentation of a single bean against a tape measure. The archive records it as Vanilla Planifolia Gourmet 20 cm. The figure applies to the bean photographed and is not a specification for stock.
The same bean being weighed on an SF-400 scale, capacity 10,000 g in 1 g steps. The display is not legible in the photograph, so no weight figure is stated here.
Length documentation of a single bean. The archive records it as Vanilla Tahitian Gourmet 16 cm. It applies to the bean photographed only.
Weighing documentation of the same bean. As with the previous frame the display is not legible, so no weight figure is given.
