INCI: Sambucus nigra

Elderberries are dried Sambucus nigra berries used in simmered teas, syrups, and berry-forward kitchen projects. When heated, they develop a deep colour and a tangy, rich flavour that works well with warming spices and citrus. This smaller pack suits trial batches and seasonal pantry recipes. The berries are typically strained after simmering for a smoother drink or syrup.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in large pack sizes.
