Juniper Berries (Verstegen) 24g*6/box
Juniper berries are the female seed cones produced by various juniper trees. They are not true berries, but rather cones with unusually fleshy texture and fused scales, giving them a berry-like appearance. The cones from a few varieties, particularly juniper (Juniperus communis), are used as a spice, especially in European cuisine, and also give gin its distinctive flavor. Juniper berries may be the only spice derived from coniferous trees. They are purplish-black, slightly sweet and bitter, and can eliminate the gamey smell of meat dishes, be used to flavor stews, and can also be used to make drinks and teas.
