Information on elderberries:
When you pick elderberries, snip the clusters just below the fruit itself. Then separate the berries from the stems. Avoid elderberries species with red fruit growing in rounded, instead of flat clusters. Avoid unripe, green berries—they’ll get you sick. Even raw ripe elderberries make some people nauseous. Cooking or drying dispels the offending substance, and greatly improves the flavor. The berries have few calories and lots of nutrition. They provide very large amounts of potassium and beta-carotene, as well as sugar and fruit acids, calcium, phosphorous and vitamin C. Need more info? Check out
