These bluish purple berries are the ripened fruit of the Juniperus communis. This shrub grows in Southern Europe (Albania, Croatia), North Africa, North America and Asia. They have been used for thousands of years. The Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Tibetans and the North American Indians used them in their rituals, their medicinal cures or simply as seasoning. The Greeks dedicated them to Hermes. The Romans used them to replace pepper (Piper nigrum) as they were cheaper, yet just as round and slightly spicy.
