Dry or Moldy Vanilla Beans
If your vanilla beans have dried out, you can re-hydrate them in either milk or warm water for several hours. If your vanilla beans appear to contain "frost", do not mistake this as mold. Frosty Vanillin crystals can develop on vanilla beans as the vanillin inside the bean migrates to the surface while the beans dry. These crystals appear shiny and are edible. If you do suspect actual mold, please discard the vanilla beans.
sdlksdljs. I had to scroll back up to see what the original topic of this thread was.
Thank you for the helpful tip though 😆
