Elder Flowers – Dried

(Sambucus nigra)

Elder flowers are the delicate, cream-white blossoms of Sambucus nigra, the European elder tree — the same plant that gives us elderberries. Borne in large, flat-topped clusters called corymbs, the tiny flowers have a light, sweet, distinctly floral fragrance with subtle muscat and honey notes that make them one of the most prized culinary flowers in European tradition.

Elderflower has been gathered from hedgerows and woodland edges across Europe for centuries, and its brief early-summer bloom is eagerly anticipated by foragers, cooks, and herbalists alike. From the classic British elderflower cordial to French liqueur de fleur de sureau, elder flowers have a long and distinguished culinary heritage. Our dried Elder Flowers are carefully sourced to preserve their delicate aroma and flavor.
