Fruity once cooked. Do not eat raw; always cook before eating.
Our organic dried elderberries (Sambucus nigra) are sourced from sustainable agriculture and carefully dried to preserve their deep colour and fruity flavour. Each 1 lb (454 g) pouch gives you a generous supply for homemade elderberry syrup, teas, and other preparations.
Elderberries have been part of traditional European cooking for centuries, simmered into syrups, jams, soups and teas. Their deep purple colour comes from natural plant pigments called anthocyanins. No additives, no preservatives, no added sugar — just pure, whole dried elderberries.
Not all dried elderberries are the same. We use exclusively Sambucus nigra — the European elderberry species that has been used in traditional European kitchens 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 organic, carefully de-stemmed, and gently dried to preserve their deep purple colour and fruity flavour. 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.

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.
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.
These are 100% Sambucus nigra — the European elderberry species traditionally used in cooking. We do not use Sambucus canadensis or any other species.
Store in the resealable pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, they keep for up to 12 months.
We ship our organic dried elderberries across Canada with free shipping on orders of $50 CAD or more. The resealable 1 lb pouch is a generous family-size supply.
I like to make my own Elderberry syrup and use it for many things.... not just as a cure for coughs and colds or sore throat... I also use it on my yogurt or even as a dessert topping.... so yummy! I boil the Elderberries and add a cinnamon stick, a few dried cloves and organic ginger (optional) until the water is reduced by about half. Take out the cinnamon stick and cloves and ginger and then and add raw honey (to taste)... It is so nice to have it handy and ready in the fridge and is far cheaper than purchasing Organic Elderberry syrup! The plus is that it lasts quite a long time in the fridge because of the honey and tastes great.
Great quality. Reasonable price.
Wonderful, potent. I use them to make my elderberry cough syrup.
Thanks for the great review. Hope it keeps you healthy!
Great product, use a spoonful every day
I haven't tried them yet but they look good. Will let you know when I try them.
In the mean time if you have any recipes to share I would appreciate them.
