About Product
Elderberries have been used as a tonic in folk and traditional medicine for centuries. The earliest references come from Ancient Greece and Rome, where berries were used to resolve various issues.
Featured in the writings of Hippocrates, Elderberry has a long history of use among European herbalists, possibly because of its unique components.
It's made by freeze-drying fresh elderberries, which are then ground into a powder. This powder retains the beneficial compounds of the fresh berries and can be used in various ways, from adding to smoothies to making teas and syrups.
It's a convenient and easy way to get the qualities of elderberries without having to source and prepare fresh berries.
Our Organic Freeze-Dried Elderberry Powder is a nutritional superstar, as it's loaded with almost twice the nutrients of blueberries.
Elderberries can be used to make preserves and wines and add richness, flavor, and color to recipes.

Tincture - This method can take 15 to 30 days. You will need three items (a mason jar with a cover, the herb/herbs of your choice, and liquid for extracting). The extracting liquid can be alcohol, alcohol/ water combo, vinegar, or vegetable glycerin. Take the product and fill the jar ¾ full, add the liquid of your choice, and close the jar. Then shake the jar so everything is well mixed. Give the jar a good 5-minute shake several times a day. After 15 to 30 days, strain and bottle in glass tincture jars.
Mixing suggestions: To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic acerola powder for an immune-nourishing tonic.
