I'm really happy to have switched brands because these are fresher and easier to adjust the amount to use. Absolutely excellent flavor! Will purchase this brand from now on. Review: I trust this brand for 'fresh' dried herbs and spices - very fragrant juniper berries! - 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! ## Features - Juniper Berries - Frontier Co-op Whole Juniper Berries offer bold, piney flavor with a hint of sweetness and spice.

Do they retain their blue/green color? Would they be ok to use on a craft project, or will they rot eventually?** A: Just took a look at my juniper berries which are a deep purple/reddish brown color, certainly not blue/green as I see them. They are dry, so probably wouldn't deteriorate or spoil. Can't say how they'd hold up in a craft project, but my guess is that they'd remain stable. **Q: Is It Sweet?** A: no, not sweet. more like tart, and as the container says, "piney". **Q: What species of juniper do these berries come from?** A: from the evergreen plant, Juniper bush, shrub, or tree. **Q: Can i use this for wild game meats like wild boar ribs ducks and pheasants** A: Yes, but people shouldn’t eat ducks because they’re too friendly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Culinary Excellence! *by D***R on February 5, 2026* I purchased this brand of Juniper Berries for my German Blaucraut because the brand I've previously used is ungodly expensive now, and this brand was sooo much cheaper on Amazon.

They seem nice and fresh. The one thing we both laughed about was, the label doesn't say it's juniper berries, because it looks like that part of the label was covered. No stars deducted though, because the quality seems good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Frontier Co-op Whole Juniper Berries, 1.28 Ounce Bottle, Rich and Piney for Soups, Marinades, Pickling and Sauerkraut - McCormick Gourmet Organic Coriander Seed, 0.87 Oz - Badia Allspice Whole 1.5 oz – Warm & Fragrant Spice with Notes of Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3892403-frontier-co-op-whole-juniper-berries-1-28-ounce-bottle](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3892403-frontier-co-op-whole-juniper-berries-1-28-ounce-bottle) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
