Elderberries are the fruit of the Sambucus Nigra, known more commonly as an elderberry plant. These bountiful dark purple berries have been used in natural medicine for centuries. Elderberries are known to have antiviral and immune-boosting properties that may help your body prepare for cold and flu season or help lessen symptoms if you are under the weather. Dried elderberries have an excellent shelf life and make a great pantry staple ingredient. They are known to have a compound called lectins that can cause gastric unrest by indigestion but is not very resilient. A brief boiling period or even fermentation disarms the lectins and allows for normal digestion to take place. Elderberries are a common ingredient in winemaking to enhance color and flavor. Can also be used to make infused vinegars, teas, gummies, mead, soda, herbal tinctures, kombucha, kefir, etc. ELDERBERRY SYRUP One of the most popular preparations of elderberries is elderberry syrup. It’s a great way to achieve several things: extraction of important nutrients including flavonoids and antiviral acids, reduction of lectin content through a brief heating period, infusion of your favorite medicinal herbs, and preservation through the addition of honey. For 16oz of syrup, you need 4oz of dried elderberries.WHOLE, DRIED ELDERBERRIES – Dried berries from the Sambucus tree, native to the British Isles.IMMUNE BOOSTING SUPER BERRIES – Elderberries are known for their immune boosting and antiviral properties and have been used in natural medicine for centuries.
