Elderberries

Elderberries (Sambucus nigra)

Elder is a perennial shrub native to Europe, North America, and parts of Asia with a rich history in traditional Western herbalism and folklore. For centuries, elderberries have been valued for supporting seasonal wellness and have been used to prepare syrups, teas, tinctures, cordials, wines, and preserves. Our dried elderberries are ideal for crafting traditional herbal preparations and should be cooked before consumption. Only the ripe berries and flowers are traditionally used, as other parts of the plant are not considered suitable for consumption.
