About Elderflower

Elderflower, the delicate white bloom of the elder tree, has long been valued in European cuisine and herbal remedies. Known for its floral, subtly sweet flavor, it’s commonly used in syrups, teas, cordials, and desserts. Rich in bioactive compounds like flavonoids, elderflower is praised for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Historically, it’s been used to support immune health, ease respiratory issues, and soothe cold symptoms. Elderflower tea can promote detoxification due to its mild diuretic effects, aiding in digestion and relieving bloating. Although nutritious, raw elderflower and its berries must be processed properly, as they naturally contain compounds that can be toxic if consumed in excess. Elderflower products, often sweetened with sugar, should be enjoyed in moderation to avoid an excessive calorie intake. Popular in European cuisines, elderflower continues to gain recognition for its natural benefits and unique taste worldwide.
