The black elder is a shrub that grows throughout Europe and North America. Its flowers and fruit are traditionally used to prepare seasonal jams and drinks. The elderberry harvests happen in late summer or early autumn when the fruit is ripe.
The harvesting time is crucial because unripe and uncooked elderberries can be toxic. This is because the shrub’s fresh leaves, bark, flowers, roots, and young buds have a bitter alkaloid and a glucoside which may produce a type of cyanide known as hydrocyanic acid in certain conditions.
Even though we need to be careful with elderberries, drinks, and desserts it remain a staple in cuisines worldwide. Also, plenty of people swear by these berries’s ability to strengthen the immune system and prevent diseases.
