Our organic dried elderberries (Sambucus nigra) are sourced from sustainable agriculture and carefully dried to preserve their deep colour and fruity flavour. Each 1 lb (454 g) pouch gives you a generous supply for homemade elderberry syrup, teas, and other preparations.
Elderberries have been part of traditional European cooking for centuries, simmered into syrups, jams, soups and teas. Their deep purple colour comes from natural plant pigments called anthocyanins. No additives, no preservatives, no added sugar — just pure, whole dried elderberries.
What Makes These Elderberries Different?
Not all dried elderberries are the same. We use exclusively Sambucus nigra — the European elderberry species that has been used in traditional European kitchens for centuries. Many cheaper dried elderberries on the market are a different species (Sambucus canadensis) or are mixed with stems and debris.
Our elderberries are organic, carefully de-stemmed, and gently dried to preserve their deep purple colour and fruity flavour. The 1 lb (454 g) resealable pouch gives you enough for multiple batches of homemade elderberry syrup — significantly more affordable than buying pre-made syrups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I eat dried elderberries raw?
No — dried elderberries should always be cooked before consumption. Raw elderberries contain compounds that can cause nausea. Cooking (simmering for at least 15–20 minutes) breaks these down and makes them safe to eat.
How do I make elderberry syrup?
Simmer about 1 cup of dried elderberries in 3 cups of water with cinnamon, cloves, and fresh ginger for 45–60 minutes. Strain, let cool slightly, then stir in honey to taste. Store in the fridge for up to 3 months. One pouch makes multiple batches.
What species of elderberry is this?
These are 100% Sambucus nigra — the European elderberry species traditionally used in cooking. We do not use Sambucus canadensis or any other species.
How should I store dried elderberries?
Store in the resealable pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, they keep for up to 12 months.
Where can I buy dried elderberries in Canada?
We ship our organic dried elderberries across Canada with free shipping on orders of $50 CAD or more. The resealable 1 lb pouch is a generous family-size supply.
