What causes the white frost on the pods?

It is crystallised vanillin, known as givre, which migrates to the surface of exceptionally high-vanillin pods during slow curing. It is a natural marker of quality, not a defect or a mould.

Is the white coating safe to consume?

Yes. It is pure vanillin from the bean itself. It is distinguishable from mould by its needle-like crystal structure and its strong vanilla aroma.

Why is crystallized vanilla packed in glass tubes?

The crystals are fragile and abrade easily against other pods. Glass tubes protect the frost intact through shipping, which matters because presentation is the main reason buyers choose this product.
