Description
Blue juniper is the edible round berry of an evergreen shrub with a distinct, aromatic odor. Traditionally used in northern/central European and Scandinavian cuisine to give a sharp, clear flavor to meats; used to flavor gin and also for sauerkraut. In herbal medicine, juniper berries are most often used as a diuretic. Italian juniper berries are a smaller, higher grade berry carried primarily for distillers, and have a more complex, fruity flavor than juniper berries from Eastern Europe
