Certified Organic Elderberries Summary

Elderberries can be used in many ways, namely teas, tinctures, syrups, wine, cordials, and even ketchup, and often combined with propolis and even echinacea.

The dried fruits are less bitter than fresh elderberries. The branches and leaves are poisonous, however the small stem sometimes left on the berry is safe.

Make Elderberry Syrup

What makes elderberry syrup so amazing is that it helps prevent colds and influenza. In fact, elderberry syrup has been shown to prevent against 10 strains of influenza! To put that in perspective, the flu vaccine is designed to protect against a few strains. This elderberry syrup is not messing around!

But, it gets even better than that! Elderberry syrup does not just prevent you from getting sick, it is also a remedy just in case you do get sick! Isn’t that amazing?! If you do get sick just take a few spoonfuls of elderberry syrup and you’ll recover much quicker!

Because of the immune support offered, elderberry syrup is a staple in many homes. Learn more about elderberries and elderberry syrup here on our Scratch Mommy blog, but grab our elderberry syrup recipe right here!
