The edible juniper berry, which is actually a soft cone similar to a pine cone, is the only spice derived from a conifer (a cone-bearing tree or shrub).

Along with its distinct culinary uses, juniper has a wide variety of purposes: aromatherapy, perfumery, making gin, beads for jewelry, and decoration.
