Juniper Berries - Juniper communis - Whole
The juniper (Juniperus communis) is a conifer native to Europe, Asia, and North America. The plant bears both flowers and berries, which vary in color from green to black as they ripen. The name Juniperus derives from the Celtic word juneprus, meaning rough, prickly, or bitter, while communis means "common."
The black berries of the juniper have a characteristically bitter and aromatic flavor. It takes about three years for the berries to fully ripen: in the first year, the flowers appear, in the second year they turn green, and in the third year they turn blue and then black or dark purple.
