Botanical Name: Sambucus nigra
Certified Organic
Origin: Bulgaria / Croatia / Albania
Production: Elder is a flowering plant that is native to Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia. It produces large clusters of small, white flowers in the spring, followed by small blueish black (sometimes red) berries.
Qualities: Elderberries naturally contain vitamins A, B, and C, and they have a long history of use in traditional European medicine. The berries and flowers of the Elder plant are most commonly used to boost the immune system, improve heart health, treat coughs, and cold and flu symptoms.
Common Use: Elderberries can be used in healing teas, tinctures, and syrups, and are often combined with Echinacea. They have also been used in cordials, wines, and even ketchup recipes. The dried berries can be added to muffin or pancake recipes for a flavor similar, but less sweet, to that of blueberries.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place in a sealed container.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
