Dried Elderberries (Sambucus nigra)

Elderberries are the small, dark purple berries of the elder tree, traditionally harvested in late summer and early fall. The dried berries have a deep color and a mildly tart, earthy flavor and have long been used in botanical and cultural practices across Europe and beyond.

Elderberries are commonly prepared using slow methods such as decoctions, long infusions, and syrups as part of traditional plant use. Due to their strong flavor and firm texture, they are typically simmered rather than steeped and are often included in apothecary projects and educational herbal study rather than eaten raw.

These dried elderberries are carefully sourced and dried to preserve their color and character, making them well suited for tea preparation, botanical crafting, and learning-focused applications.
