The berries of juniper initially have a sweet taste, and later hot. In cooking, dried or fresh berries are used. The berries are large as peas and fleshy. Juniper works against bacteria and is a good antiseptic. Calms the cough and cleans the blood. Juniper is an important spice in many European countries, especially in the Alpine region and Scandinavia. In Germany, juniper is added to the pickling of cabbage. In Scandinavia, beer is flavored with it.
Culinary
Its astringent blue-black seed cones, commonly known as "juniper berries", are too bitter to eat raw and are usually sold dried and used to flavor meats, sauces, and stuffings. They are generally crushed before use to release their flavor. Since juniper berries have a strong taste, they should be used sparingly. They are generally used to enhance meat with a strong flavor, such as a game, including game birds, or tongue.
The cones are used to flavor certain beers and gin (the word "gin" derives from an Old French word meaning "juniper"). In Finland, juniper is used as a key ingredient in making sahti, a traditional Finnish ale. Also, the Slovak alcoholic beverage Borovička and Dutch Jenever are flavored with juniper berry or its extract.
Juniper is used in the traditional farmhouse ales of Norway. Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia. In Norway, the beer is brewed with juniper infusion instead of water, while in the other countries the juniper twigs are mainly used in the mash, as filters to prevent the crushed malts from clogging the outlet of the mashing tun. The use of juniper in farmhouse brewing has been common in much of northern Europe, seemingly for a very long time.
Traditional medicine
Juniper berries have long been used as medicine by many cultures including the Navajo people. Western American tribes combined the berries of Juniperus communis with Berberis root bark in a herbal tea. Native Americans also used juniper berries as a female contraceptive.
