Whole dried organic juniper berries delight us with their deep blue-violet to black colour and their intensely aromatic, fruity, slightly bitter and resinous flavour. Their characteristic aroma makes them an important ingredient in many traditional recipes such as game, meat and stew dishes, roasts and marinades. But they also enchant and refine vegetables with their incomparable aroma. They go particularly well with sauerkraut, mushrooms and red beetroot. In the kitchen, organic juniper berries are often combined with other spices and herbs such as
cloves or
thyme.
Juniper berries are especially popular for the production of gin, a beloved and versatile drink trend.
