What Are Juniper Berries? Well, they’re not actual berries. They’re a type of cone similar to a pinecone, but spongy and round. Their shape and purplish color make them look more like berries, though. These popular berries are commonly found in cooking and can be used in drink recipes. Like most foods, juniper berries come with a variety of health benefits. People have used it as an anti-inflammatory and a diuretic. Try them in this Herb-Infused Cocktail Base Recipe!
