Frequently Asked Questions
What are kitsa vanilla cuts?
Kitsa is the Malagasy term for the cut and broken pieces of vanilla beans — shorter lengths, split pods, and fragments that don't qualify for Grade A or B standards. They contain the same vanillin as premium grades and are the standard raw material for industrial vanilla extract and powder production.
Is Grade C vanilla safe for food use?
Yes. Grade C vanilla beans are 100% natural Madagascar Vanilla planifolia, grown and cured in the SAVA region. They meet food-grade standards for industrial extract and powder production. All export documents (Phytosanitary, COA) are available on request.
rade C vanilla beans — also called industrial cuts or kitsa — are the most economical form of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla.
They naturally include short pieces, splits, and dry or broken beans, making them ideal for industrial extraction, powder production and large-batch processing, not for culinary presentation.
This grade is classified based on:
-
shorter length
-
irregular or mixed appearance
-
low moisture (12–18%)
-
vanillin content between 0.5% and 1.2%
Though not suitable as whole-bean “gourmet” vanilla, Grade C offers the best cost-to-yield ratio on the market.

Grade C vanilla beans are extremely versatile and widely used across food and fragrance industries:
-
ground vanilla powder → used in baking, confectionery, chocolate, beverages
-
Pure vanilla extract → especially medium to large-scale producers
-
Oleoresin & vanilla absolute → fragrance, cosmetics, natural perfumery
-
Organic aromas → natural flavor manufacturers
-
Industrial food production → where yield and cost-efficiency matter
Their low moisture and open structure allow fast, efficient extraction, making them the preferred choice for economical large-batch production.
Industry Practice: Blending Grade B + Grade C for Better Extracts
In Madagascar and internationally, many extract manufacturers blend Grade C cuts with Grade B beans to achieve a better balance between cost and flavor.
This common practice helps producers:
-
enhance aroma complexity
-
improve the overall flavor profile
-
keep production more cost-efficient
-
maintain consistent extraction performance
Each producer adjusts the blend according to their desired aroma quality and budget, making this combination a widely used standard in the vanilla extract industry.
