Juniper Berries

Juniper Berries are the fragrant, resinous berries of Juniperus communis commonly used in Northern European and Mediterranean cuisines — most famously as the botanical flavoring for gin and as a seasoning for game, stews and sauces. They are typically used dried or crushed to give a piney, citrusy note rather than eaten fresh. Nutritionally, Juniper Berries are notable for their fiber content, providing about 5g of fiber per 100g, and they also supply vitamin K and trace minerals like manganese and copper. While used in small amounts as a spice, they contribute antioxidants and a floral, resinous aroma to dishes. From a health perspective, juniper berries are valued for their fiber and micronutrient content and contain polyphenolic compounds that act as antioxidants; used sparingly, they can add flavor with few downsides.Read more
