Description
San Francisco Herb Co. offers flavorful Italian juniper berries at wholesale prices. Contrary to popular belief, juniper berries aren’t actually berries at all, but the female seed cones of evergreen shrubs. However, they do have many fruit-like characteristics, including a distinct, aromatic odor.
Edible juniper berries are used in traditional Central/Northern European and Scandinavian cuisine to give a sharp, clear flavor to meats. In some foods, such as sauerkraut, Eastern European juniper is often preferred.
To make gin distilled from juniper berries, this Italian juniper is an excellent choice. This variant of juniper features small, high-grade berries that have a complex, fruity flavor — making the perfect bulk juniper berries for distillers.
