Juniper Berry

Latin Name: Juniperus communis

Family: Coniferae

 
Description

Most Juniper berries and volatile oil originate from Hungary where the shrub grows wild and the berries are used fresh. Blue and green berries are found on the same plant as it takes 2 to 3 years for the berries to ripen. In Sweden, the fruit is made into a beer that is regarded as a health drink. Juiper berries have also long been used in the making and flavouring of gin.
