Westpoint Organic Juniper Berries, 2 kg

The Common Juniper is a low lying plant that is one of the most widely spread trees throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The branches of this shrub have tiny scale like needles and produce light blue and purple flesh like cones – known as the Juniper Berry.

Although it can be harvested any time of the year, only the blue matured cones of the Juniper Plant should be collected for food. The berry can take two to three years to fully ripen which makes a harvest that much more special! Did you know that ours is wildly foraged in the Balkans?

Juniper berries have been favoured throughout history for its many unconventional applications.

For a quick winter warming tea steep 1/2 tablespoon of Juniper Berries with 2 cups of hot water for 10 minutes before straining. Add honey as desired.
