Frontier Co-op Whole Juniper Berries, 1.28 Ounce Bottle, Rich and Piney for Soups, Marinades, Pickling and Sauerkraut

Great for the flavored gin I gufted

Used for sauerbraten; seem high quality freshly dried juniper berries. Good aroma, color, great value. Well-packed. Highly recommend.

I really, really love the Frontier brand for dried spices and herbs...and in this case, whole dried Juniper berries! The berries seemed pretty freshly dried, so I didn't have to wonder how long they had been sitting around before being packaged. They still had 'tackiness' and were 'squeezable' - meaning that they didn't feel like hard, lifeless pebbles. Juniper has slightly astringent qualities as far as taste and smell are concerned - much like the famous liquor it produces, Gin! The smell is also somewhat 'green' [like pine] and herbaceous - they don't smell like your average berry, that's for sure! Though you can use juniper berries in sweets and desserts if used in the right combination of ingredients, juniper is more commonly used in savory dishes that tend to have ingredients such as sage, bay [leaf], and fennel. If you want to go all-out-chef and you eat meat, juniper, when seen on restaurant menus, is almost always used with game meats such as duck. In Scandinavian cuisine, it's used with Earl Grey tea to cure things like salmon and other meats. The flavor of juniper berries packs such a unique punch that it really pairs best with other strong flavors, especially of the savory variety. I soaked a small amount of juniper berries in cheap gin and white wine, added heavy cream, sage, thyme, rosemary (see where I'm going with this?) and a ton of other ingredients and mixed it into a bread-less 'stuffing'/'dressing' - it turned out intense and amazing! I don't think the taste (or smell) of juniper berries is for everyone, but even if you don't buy juniper berries, I still recommend this brand - I have yet to be disappointed by them! I usually buy my dried herbs and spices from Frontier in their bulk sealed bags...or dry my own! **Disclaimer: There is no alcohol/gin in a juniper berry! It must be distilled specifically for the purpose of creating gin before it becomes alcohol. Also - ALWAYS consult your primary care physician before using herbs, spices, oils, foods, etc that you may be sensitive or allergic to. I am sharing my opinion and my opinion only - I claim NO responsibility for your use or results!

I used to work at Frontier and veggie pepper aroma is what I smelled like at the end of a workday! Spicy blend with flavor. I love it.

Happy with the berries and price. Couldn’t find them in the stores I thought would have them so I went to amazon and found them.

Seriously what in the world is my wife thinking she’s gonna

This was sent to me by accident. I ordered juniper berries and got this ... I'm to lazy to send it back so I tried it , it's OK . but I put another order in for the Juniper berries finally got them.

Good spice for Schwienhoxe

Wonderful flavour and fragrance. Berries are very fresh and easy to keep that way in the glass bottle they come in. Very good value.
