Chaste Berry is a small, aromatic berry traditionally used in European and Mediterranean foodways, herbal preparations, and sacred practices. With a warm, slightly peppery flavor, it has historically been incorporated into long-simmered teas, decoctions, and botanical infusions, as well as ritual blends centered on balance, reflection, and cyclical living.
