ELDERBERRIES
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.
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. For 16 fl oz of syrup, you need 4oz of dried elderberries.

easy and fun. The kit makes a batch of elderberry syrup. Everything is included, dried berries, honey and cheesecloth. YOu need to cook it on the stove. Easy and fun project.
Great All-Included Kit. I love this kit because it makes making elderberry syrup fun not that I’ve tried it without a kit. This package comes with everything you need including the dried berries and seasoning pre-mixed, honey, and even a cheese cloth to strain the brew after cooking it. The only thing you need to provide is filtered water.It’s an easy process and is enjoyable. It’s fascinating to see how stuff like this is made. Now I know why they do so much with elderberry like syrups and gummies. Elderberry is nutritious and has a lot of health benefits, but they are very bitter and not palatable by themselves. Honey cures that right away.And this was just in time for flu season but I don’t have to twist any arms to get people to take their elderberry syrup. The kids love it (no wonder).
Perfect timing!. This product is awesome, and was a fun little project to do with my kids. This is great for some extra support now that the cold weather is coming. This stuff is awesome in some tea too!
