Elderberry Nutrition facts
Elderberry
Tiny, round elderberry is the storehouse of health benefiting anthocyanin antioxidants. Early settlers of North America were well acquainted with the medicinal uses of elderflowers and berries long before the Spanish and other European explorers re-discovered its uses. These small round blue-purple berries have long been attributed to the longevity and wellness of indigenous natives around arctic regions of the Northern hemisphere.
