(Sambucus canadensis)Black elderberry, derived from the Sambucus nigra plant, is a small, dark purple berry known for its rich color and nutritional benefits. These berries grow in clusters and are often used in syrups, jams, and various health supplements due to their high antioxidant content. Black elderberries are particularly celebrated for their potential immune-boosting properties and are commonly associated with the prevention and treatment of colds and flu. However, it's important to note that raw elderberries can be toxic if consumed in large quantities, as they contain cyanogenic glycosides. Cooking the berries removes these harmful substances, making them safe to eat. In addition to their medicinal uses, black elderberries are also popular in culinary applications for their unique tart flavor.
