Eastern Red Cedar - Juniperus virginiana - and 50 similar items

This listing is for 20 Eastern Red Cedar - Juniperus virginiana - cones with seeds Each cone has 2-3 viable seeds in it. Green Dean says these Junipers have the potent antiviral compound deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) which has been shown to be effective against viruses that cause the flu and herpes. Green berries are used to flavor gin. Mature blue berries are used to flavor game. They are also used to flavor stuffing, marinades and stews. In Europe one cannot make authentic sauerbraten or sauerkraut without juniper berries. In the southern Alps a dark syrup is made from the berries and is traditionally eaten as a dessert with cream or hot milk. (Some berries are as much as 30% sugar.) Many of my own family myself included enjoy the health benefits of juniper tea. Thank you for looking!
