Frosted Vanilla

Vanilla beans whose skin has formed white crystals, documented loose and in glass tubes.

Close view of white crystals on the skin of vanilla beans.

Summary

What the Vanilla Bibit archive calls frosted is beans with fine white crystals formed on the skin. The close-up on this page shows those crystals clearly.

The same beans are also documented packed in cork-topped glass tubes. We make no chemical claim about what the crystals are: the project holds no laboratory data of any kind.
