AWAFI MILL Juniper Berries 100g - Juniperus communis

AWAFI MILL Juniper Berries are aromatic, dried berry-like cones commonly associated with Juniperus communis.

The product consists of small, round berries with a naturally dark blue, blue-black, purple-black or brownish appearance. The surface may be smooth or slightly wrinkled, and the berries have a firm, dry texture.
