Elderberry is the fruit of the Sambucus tree, commonly known as elder. The most well-known species is Sambucus nigra, or European elderberry. The berries are small, dark purple to black, and grow in clusters. They have a tart taste and are often used in syrups, jams, wines, and herbal remedies.
Health Benefits
Elderberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, making them beneficial for immune support, heart health, and reducing inflammation. They have been traditionally used to help with cold and flu symptoms, joint pain, and infections.
Risks and Precautions
Raw elderberries, along with the leaves and stems, contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can be toxic if consumed in large amounts. Cooking the berries neutralizes these compounds, making them safe to eat.
