Many of the vanilla beans bought at the grocery store are dry and brittle. To make the very best Vanilla Extract you want to use a high quality bean. For Vanilla to be called Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, you have to use Madagascar beans and these are the most expensive beans you can buy. To make a good quality vanilla you can use beans of any origin as long as they are plump and oily. I have been buying my vanilla beans from Olive Nation for many years and have always been pleased with the quality.
