Elderberry Recipes – Tasty And Healthy

The boiled elderberry juice in particular is rich in extremely healthy active ingredients. The antioxidant effects of anthocyanins, vitamins and minerals strengthen the immune system.

The processing of the fresh berries is extremely important because they are inedible raw and cause stomach pain and nausea. Only when the berries are heated do they lose the ingredient glycoside, which releases the extremely unhealthy hydrogen cyanide.

Juice Elderberries

Large quantities of elderberries are usually produced during a harvest. We therefore recommend juicing in a steam juicer. The finished juice lasts in hot-washed bottles at least until the next harvest.

• For colds, elderberry juice is mixed with hot water or hot tea in a 1:1 ratio and drunk several times a day.
• The juice can be used to create delicious jellies, the famous elderberry soup or desserts.

• It tastes wonderfully fruity on a breakfast bread.
• The elderberry chef also makes a great pie filling.
