What is Black Elderberry?
Black Elderberry is a dark purple berry that comes from the elder tree and is native to much of Europe and North America. The berries contain flavonoids and vitamins A & C and are so delicious that they are used to make jam. In their raw state, the berries are inedible but when cooked and processed for food and drink they turn sweet and juicy. Even the flowers, known as Elderflower, are used in fancy cocktails.
