Elderberries are the fruit from the flowering plant known as Sambucus, more commonly referred to as elder, black elder or elderflower. The most common variant, from which we get the majority of our elderberries, is Sambucus nigra. You will primarily find elderberries in the Northern hemisphere, particularly in Europe and North America, although some southern species are grown in Australia.

Elderberries have been used not just for their unique tartness, but for many different traditional and Native American folk remedies. The dark berries are the good ones.

Besides lots of flavonoids and free radical-scouring antioxidants, elderberries contain 87 percent of the daily value in vitamin C, and high amounts of vitamin A, potassium, iron, vitamin B6, fiber, and betacarotene.

The berries are black or very dark blue, and have a sharp, sweet flavor that makes them highly preferred for desserts, syrups, jams, jellies, spreads, and as the base for various cocktails and beverages. Elderberry wine is also very popular and can be made quite simply at home.

Elderberry Syrup is an effective and healthy remedy against colds and flu. It’s easy and inexpensive to make at home and kids actually like it. I will be sharing a video with you on how to make this elderberry syrup, so please stay tuned.

You can use elderberry syrup as a preventative remedy by taking 1/2 to 1 teaspoon a day during peak cold and flu season. If you get hit with a minor illness, you can double or triple that dose until you feel better.

The flowers of the elderberry are called elder flowers and can be used to make herbal teas. When it comes to having a fever… you feel terrible. Making an elderflower tea will help. Simply boil some hot water, pour it over a tablespoon of elderflowers, cover it and let it sit for 5 minutes. This tea is also great for kids since the Elderflower tea tastes great, and your kid will like it even better if you add some honey into it. The elder plant is a cooling plant. Not only will it help calm them, but it will help them to sweat. You need to drink it as hot as possible for it to help with the fever.

A Final Word of Caution: Considering that so few species are edible, it is always wise to find elderberries in a licensed and reputable store. Don’t pick wild elderberries and it is suggested to cook all berries before eating, as they may contain dangerous traces of cyanide. Green, unripe, or bright red elderberries are bitter and possibly toxic, even when cooked. Furthermore, being allergic to plants in the honeysuckle family is not uncommon, so be careful about being up-to-date on your food allergies before adding elderberries to your diet. Finally, elderberries are known to act as diuretics for some people, so if you are already struggling with kidney problems, then elderberries may worsen them.
