Elderberries are small, dark purple-black berries harvested from the elder tree (Sambucus Nigra). These nutrient-rich fruits have a long history of traditional use for their potential health benefits. Elderberries are known for their high levels of antioxidants and vitamins, particularly vitamin C. They are often used to make elderberry syrup, supplements, and are incorporated into various wines and culinary recipes.
