                        All About Elderberry

                        Elderberries have long been used as a folk remedy for cold and flu. Modern studies have helped back up this claim. There are many recipes for elderberry jams, syrups, and pies. But beware, unripe berries, leaves, and twigs are poisonous. In addition, take note that are multiple species variations of elderberry.

                        Fun Fact

                        The flowers and the berries produced by elder species are actually the only parts of the plant that don't contain the toxic chemical sambunigrin. Unripe berries are also poisonous.
