Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) are mainly used for winter ailments and immune system stimulation. These berries of the Black or European Elder are a low-calorie food packed with vitamin C, dietary fiber and antioxidants. In many cultures, the elder tree is considered a "sacred" tree. In European folklore, the elder tree was believed to have protective powers and ward off evil. Planting an elder tree in your garden was said to bring good luck and protection. The elderberries we offer grow wild, in their natural habitat. Their wild growth gives them an intense character and a particularly rich taste and aroma.

Our herbs are packaged in resealable pouches that protect against light, air, and moisture, helping to preserve their aroma, quality, and properties as well as possible. The pouches are made of paper with a compostable protective layer and are industrially compostable. In many municipalities, they can be disposed of with organic waste. Home composting is also possible, although it may take a bit longer (about 1–2 years). More information about our packaging choice.
