Our 100% organic dried elderberries (Sambucus nigra) are sourced from sustainable agriculture and carefully dried to preserve their deep colour and nutritional profile. Each 1 lb (454 g) pouch gives you a generous supply for homemade elderberry syrup, teas, and other preparations.
Elderberries have been used for centuries in traditional European herbal practice. They are naturally rich in flavonoids — including anthocyanins and quercetin — and are commonly used during cold and flu season. No additives, no preservatives, no added sugar — just pure, whole dried elderberries.
What Makes These Elderberries Different?
Not all dried elderberries are the same. We use exclusively Sambucus nigra — the European elderberry species that has been used in traditional herbalism for centuries. Many cheaper dried elderberries on the market are a different species (Sambucus canadensis) or are mixed with stems and debris.
Our elderberries are certified organic, carefully de-stemmed, and gently dried to preserve their deep purple colour and flavonoid content. The 1 lb (454 g) resealable pouch gives you enough for multiple batches of homemade elderberry syrup — significantly more affordable than buying pre-made syrups or gummies.
How to Use Dried Elderberries
Important: Elderberries must be cooked before consumption. Do not eat raw dried elderberries. Recommended daily dose for syrup: 1 tablespoon for adults, 1 teaspoon for children over 2.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I eat dried elderberries raw?
No — dried elderberries should always be cooked before consumption. Raw elderberries contain compounds that can cause nausea. Cooking (simmering for at least 15–20 minutes) breaks these down and makes them safe to eat.
How do I make elderberry syrup?
Simmer about 1 cup of dried elderberries in 3 cups of water with cinnamon, cloves, and fresh ginger for 45–60 minutes. Strain, let cool slightly, then stir in honey to taste. Store in the fridge for up to 3 months. One pouch makes multiple batches.
What species of elderberry is this?
These are 100% Sambucus nigra — the European elderberry species traditionally used in herbalism. We do not use Sambucus canadensis or any other species.
How should I store dried elderberries?
Store in the resealable pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, they keep for up to 12 months.
Where can I buy dried elderberries in Canada?
