RE: Elderberry, Sambucus Canadensis

in #homesteading7 years ago (edited)

I love using elderberry as the base for cough syrup! The flavour works well with the other herbs I use (at least as far as the children are concerned). Interestingly, there are a few other colours of elderberry whose berries are quite toxic. Black is the only recommended for consumption. Resteemed and upvoted! Thank-you for sharing!

Yes the red are highly toxic, as with all plants you gotta know what you're dealing with! I'm happy you liked the post :) I use elderberry in my cough syrup recipe too :)
