Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a deciduous shrub from the Adoxaceae family, native to Europe and widely naturalized across North America and beyond. The shrub produces large flat corymbs of ivory-white flowers in late spring, followed by clusters of glossy dark purple-black berries 3–5 mm in diameter in late autumn. The berries have a long history of use in traditional European culinary and botanical preparations, including syrups, jams, wines, cordials, pie fillings, and herbal teas. The dried whole berries retain the full flavor and color of their fresh counterparts with an extended shelf life. Certified Organic and Kosher.
