Jamaican Blue Mountain ranks right up there with Kona as the most overrated coffee on the market today. Broadly speaking, coffee harvested from the parishes of Saint Andrew, Saint Thomas, Portland and Saint Mary, and grown at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 feet, may be considered Blue Mountain coffee. Coffee grown below 1,500 foot elevation is called Jamaica Supreme or Jamaica Low Mountain.

QUESTION:
What is the texture of a vanilla bean supposed to be?
I just bought my first vanilla bean. When I've seen them on TV cooking shows, they look like they're sorta leathery. I've seen cooks run a knife down the pod and split it open to scrape some of the seeds out for a recipe. The one I bought is brittle and dry. No way could I cut it open. Is this vanilla bean O,K.? I would think it's fine if I wanted to soak it in liquid (like Vodka) but I was hoping to use the seeds inside the pod. Is it possible or adviseable to reconsitute it some way? (Steam it or...??) Or could I grind it up in the coffee grinder, pod and all, and use that powder in a recipe? Now... I would have no idea how much to use in a recipe. Any help or ideas??
If the bean had been leathery like I imagined, how much of the scraped flecks would you use at once? I was hoping there would be enough in a bean for several recipes.
I paid for this dried out vanilla bean from a bulk type spice display. I saw some that looked better taken care of at the health food store for apiece. Is that an average price?-
ANSWER:
You can partially revive it by soaking it in vodka or vanilla extract.Vanilla beans run the gamut in price, typically the more you pay the better the quality, and yes, vanilla beans are pliable and leathery.
