It made a high quality syrup with a nice taste. Granted, this is not a miracle Elder Berry syrup in that you still won't want to drink a gallon of it, but I have no problem taking 2 TBSP of the syrup straight as with some other brands I would prefer to mix it in tea. The packaging was wonderful and there are a lot of berries in 1 pound and not to mention they are organic. It's a good value and I'll be buying here again! While taking this to prevent colds and flu, I was happy to notice a side effect I didn't expect. It actually really helped clear up my allergies which cause me quite a bit of sinus problems. I also notice that if I take it before or after I consume milk products, I don't tend to have much of a sensitivity to them as I would without it. Review: I just opened 3 bags and the product looks and smells very good. There are not too many stems or irregular ... - There's a date on the bag which would help avoid some critical issues I've read about in other reviews surrounding freshness. The bags are dated 07/2021 and my purchase was made on 9/2018. Based on that and the assumption that the Feb 2018 price hike was associated with dwindling supplies, I'm guessing that these berries were packaged 3 months before this purchase and given a 3 year shelf life. I just opened 3 bags and the product looks and smells very good. There are not too many stems or irregular berries. I've potentially received, softer, stickier berries on occasion but I've also seen quality fluctuate back and forth between brands, maybe seasonally. One brand seems to be better and then next thing, the other brand seems to be better again. So who knows? Ultimately, I have definitely received inferior berries in the past and these are not them. At least, this particular batch or harvest is not inferior. But as far as I'm concerned, the quality is going to fluctuate somewhat and there's nothing I can do to prevent that. If I receive inferior berries I'll try another brand and send the inferior ones back. But for now, I'm paying a little bit less over here and not getting an inferior product. ## Features - WILDCRAFTED ELDERBERRY: These whole dried elderberries are Sambucus nigra, the botanical name for the European elderberry.

Since the seeds contain cyanoglycogens how to process to remove these substanc** A: Before consuming, these berries should be boiled down into a syrup, as they do contain low levels of naturally occurring toxins. By boiling, the toxins are completely removed, leaving a safe, toxin-free syrup that is high in antioxidants, and highly beneficial for the immune system. **Q: Is it cheaper to boil the berries for syrup and if so, how do you do it?** A: It is much cheaper to make your own than to buy store brands like Sambucol. You just boil 3/4 to 1 cup of the dried berries in a quart of water until the liquid is reduced by half, strain it through a cheesecloth, add 1/2 to 1 cup of raw honey, sugar or pure maple syrup according to taste, and put it in a jar in the fridge.If that's too much work you can make an elixir by steeping about 3 oz of the berries in a pint of good brandy with about half a cup of raw honey (or more to taste) in a sealed jar in your cupboard for 6 weeks. **Q: Where do I store these dried elderberries? Fridge? Freezer? Pantry?Thanks.** A: I store my ready made cooked elderberry ice cubes obviously in the freezer, then I can bring them out when needed but I keep the dried berries on the very top of my cabinets where my kids cannot reach them. From my research they are poisonous until they are brought to a boiling point. But I would also think the back of your freezer would work too and extend their shelf life. **Q: Is this product freeze dried?** A: No, just dried berries. I use them in tea, you will need to reconstitute them before using. They are very dried, not a snack-out-of-the-bag type of dried fruit. As an aside, they are VERY GOOD; I found a cheaper product made by another company and decided it was worth it to pay more for these. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, good taste *by S***N on September 2, 2013* I bought this to make Elder Berry syrup as an immune booster as school was going to be starting soon.

Elderberry juice was used to treat a flu epidemic in Panama in 1995. We use these dried berries to make homemade elderberry syrup due to its immune boosting properties and save LOTS of money over purchasing ready made syrups. We can the syrup via water bath method to make it more shelf stable. Open containers of the syrup should be safe for consumption for 90 days when stored properly in a refrigerator. We take anywhere from 1/2 TB to 1 TB dose daily. When ill, we take 1 T every 3 hours, up to 6 times per day. Our recipe is as follows: Homemade Elderberry Syrup Ingredients: 4 cup black elderberries (1 lb dried) 12 cups of water 4-6 cinnamon sticks cinnamon powder 1/2 - 1 Tb whole cloves 48 oz local organic honey How to Make Elderberry Syrup: Pour water into medium saucepan and add elderberries, cinnamon and cloves (do not add honey yet!) Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer for about an hour until the liquid has reduced by almost half. At that point, remove from heat and let cool enough to be handled. Pour through a strainer into a large mixing bowl. Press the berries to extract as much liquid as possible from them. Discard the elderberries, cloves, and cinnamon sticks by composting them! Add honey to the liquid. When honey is well mixed into the elderberry mixture, proceed to can it in 8 or 16 oz canning jars via water bath method. Store open containers in the fridge (for up to 90 days) and take daily for its immune boosting properties. (Some sources recommend taking only during the week and not on the weekends to boost immunity) Standard dose is 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp for kids and 1/2 Tbsp to 1 Tbsp for adults. If the flu or a cold does strike, take the normal dose every 2-3 hours instead of once a day until symptoms disappear. *Recipe has been Modified from Wellness Mama Cost comparison for 1 TB Serving size: Homemade is $.166/ounce & Store Bought $2.625/ounce. -STORE VERSION: $21 for 16 servings (1 TB servings) $2.625 per ounce or $1.3125 per serving. -ORGANIC HOMEMADE: 93 oz, $31 for 186 servings (1 TB servings) $.33 per ounce or $.166 per serving Cost of Ingredients: Honey $11, $19 Elderberries $1.00 for spice to make 93 ounces.
