Bio spice Juniper berries whole

Gin without juniper? Not to be imagined! But not only in this cult drink the juniper berry has its firm place. Also many game dishes, sauces, marinades or stews get the final kick from the sweet and spicy fruit cone. You can simply cook the berries whole - even for longer braising times or use them perfectly for pickling meat.

A touch of magic: Even though juniper is used in our kitchens today, it is considered an ancient remedy and magic. Even the Egyptians made use of the spice as a mouthwash and the ancient Greeks and Romans used the berries against snakebites. Believe it or not, in the Middle Ages it was actually thought that the branches of juniper could keep the devil himself away.
