Madagascar's highest quality gourmet vanilla beans, packaged in a resealable glass tube (never plastic!) because only glass prevents vanilla beans from drying out. When cooking or baking with Vanillablossom’s whole vanilla beans, slice the beans lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Don’t waste the husks, as they contain flavorful oil. Use the husks to infuse your dish with vanilla, just be sure to strain them out! Unused beans can be stored unrefrigerated in their original tubes.

• Two whole gourmet Madagascar vanilla beans
• Packed in a resealable glass tube
• Packaged in Victoria, BC, Canada

About Taco Revolution

Ixim was started as a passion project by Michelle Paez and PJ Frayne out of their small home kitchen on Gabriola Island in 2015. Having returned to Canada from living abroad in South America, they missed the wonderful tortillas and other fresh foods that they had become accustomed to. Searching grocery stores all over Vancouver Island, they couldn't find a corn tortilla that came close to what was commonly available in Mexico. So, they purchased a small tortilla press and started making their own.

Several members in their new Island community heard about the tortillas that PJ and Michelle were making, and invited the couple to set up a booth at the Gabriola Farmer's market. The tortillas were an instant hit, and the passion project quickly turned into a hobby business. Within a year, Ixim Foods Inc was incorporated and was selling tortillas from 4 different farmer's markets around the Island. But tortillas weren't enough. People wanted ready-to-eat tacos! Beginning in the second year, the Taco Revolution food truck was built and put into service. It was a huge hit and quickly attracted a large following. Ixim Foods was no longer a hobby business.

The building of a commissary kitchen quickly followed, and with it an expanded product line. Over the course of the last few years, Taco Revolution has grown to become a highly regarded and recognized brand of Mexican Food products on Vancouver Island. And we continue to grow.

Taco Revolution's classic recipe of 14 different herbs and spices blended perfectly to season your favourite taco filling. It can also be used as an all-purpose seasoning to bring that authentic Mexican flavour to any food!
