Wild Elderberry Powder

All of our superfoods are considered safe for every use by all health states and ages in their recommended serving sizes. Because they are whole-food products and not extracts, isolates or concentrations, they are generally well tolerated. If you have any specific questions regarding elderberry intake, we recommend talking to your health practitioner.

When cooked or pasteurised correctly, the toxic compounds in elderberries are rendered harmless. This deep purple berry has been used for centuries in pies, jams, baked goods, sauces, and more. However, some individuals may still be sensitive to certain compounds in whole elderberries, even after proper preparation, and could experience digestive discomfort or nausea. If you're trying whole elderberries for the first time (distinct from syrups, gummies, or tinctures made from elderberry juice or extract), we recommend starting with a small serving.

Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid, a natural plant compound that gives many fruits and vegetables their deep red, blue, and purple colors. They are powerful antioxidants with potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation, supporting heart health, and protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Wild elderberries pair well with both sweet and savory flavors. Their rich, tart taste complements honey, maple syrup, and dark fruits like blackberries, cherries, and figs. They work beautifully in jams, syrups, and baked goods, adding depth to pies, muffins, and cakes. Elderberries also enhance warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, making them perfect for teas, mulled drinks, and spiced sauces.
