Ground Juniper Berries
Ground Juniper Berries
Ground Juniper Berries, Juniperus communis, come in a medium-brown, finely ground powder. This product is alternatively referred to as juniper berry powder, powdered juniper, juniper berries ground, juniper powder, or juniper berries powder.
Piney, astringent juniper berries are commonly known as the primary flavoring in gin, but this punchy little berry powder is right at home in barbecue rubs, rice seasonings, and marinades.
Ground Juniper Berries are frequently purchased by:
- seasoning companies;
- independent spice shops;
- sauce, marinade, jam, and pickle or fermented foods manufacturers;
- cafes;
- brewpubs; and
- bar & grill and American restaurants
We also have whole Juniper Berries available.
