Elderberries – Dried, Certified Organic

(Sambucus nigra)

Elderberries are the small, deep purple-black fruits of Sambucus nigra, the European elder tree — a fast-growing shrub found in hedgerows, woodland edges, and roadsides across Europe, North America, and western Asia. One of the most beloved and historically significant botanicals in both European and North American folk traditions, elderberries have been harvested and used for food, drink, and herbal preparations for thousands of years.

We love elderberry season at Glenbrook Farms — elderberries grow in abundance in Kentucky, and there’s nothing quite like going out to pick them fresh. Our dried Elderberries are Certified Organic and Non-GMO, carefully sourced to ensure quality and purity.
