ORGANIC ELDERBERRY, whole

Organic Whole Elderberries are the small, bluish-black fruits of a flowering plant native to Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia. The Elder plant produces large clusters of small, white flowers in the spring, followed by these unique berries. Elderberries have a long history of use in traditional European preparations and contain naturally occurring vitamins A, B, and C.

These whole dried berries are incredibly versatile for both culinary and herbal applications. It is important to know that Elderberries are always best consumed cooked, as this process neutralizes the astringency naturally present in the seeds and stems. They can be used to make teas, tinctures, and traditional syrups, or incorporated into recipes for cordials, wines, and even ketchups. Dried berries can also be added to pancake or muffin batter for a flavour similar to, but less sweet than, blueberries. This historically valued, nutrient-containing whole berry is a staple ingredient for year-round use.
