Juniper Berries are one of the most ancient and widely used botanical spices in human history — and one of the most botanically interesting. Despite being called berries, Juniperus communis "berries" are technically not berries at all — they are female seed cones whose unusually fleshy and merged scales give them their characteristic berry-like appearance. This conifer grows as either a low, wide-spreading shrub or a tall upright tree across the Northern Hemisphere — one of the most widely distributed conifers on earth — and its aromatic seed cones have been used as a culinary spice, wellness botanical, and aromatic craft ingredient since at least the ancient Egyptians, who used them medicinally over 3,000 years ago. Most familiar today as the primary botanical that gives gin its characteristic piney, resinous flavor — juniper berries are the defining spice of gin production worldwide — they also have a centuries-long parallel history as a traditional European kidney and urinary wellness herb, a culinary spice for game meats and sauces, and a foundational aromatic in natural craft applications. a traditional diuretic and kidney wellness herb. Naturally rich in alpha-pinene, sabinene, limonene, and a broad spectrum of naturally occurring monoterpene and sesquiterpene essential oil compounds, as well as flavonoids, tannins, and naturally occurring antioxidant polyphenols. Our Juniper Berries are 100% organic, whole dried berries, with no additives, fillers, or binders.
