About Elderberry

Elderberries are small, dark purple berries from the Sambucus tree, native to Europe and North America. Revered for centuries in traditional medicine, these nutrient-packed fruits are rich in vitamins C and A, dietary fiber, and powerful antioxidants like anthocyanins, which help combat oxidative stress and boost immunity. Elderberries are commonly used in syrups, teas, jams, and baked goods, offering a tart, slightly sweet flavor. Though they’re a staple in European and Native American cuisine, the raw berries, leaves, and stems contain compounds that can be toxic if consumed without proper preparation. When cooked, elderberries can assist with reducing cold symptoms and promoting heart health due to their anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. Their vibrant profile makes them popular in health-focused recipes, though they should always be handled with care to unlock their benefits safely.
