Description
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) Extract 5% Anthocyanidins
Elderberry Extract comes from the dark berries of Sambucus nigra, commonly known as Black Elder, European Elder or European Black Elderberry. This traditional European plant produces glossy, deep purple to almost black berries with a naturally rich colour and distinctive flavour.
Elderberry has a long history of use in traditional herbal practice. For generations, people have valued the berries as a seasonal botanical and have used them in a variety of traditional preparations. The berries also feature in traditional foods, drinks and preserves.
The naturally dark colour of Elderberries comes from plant compounds called anthocyanins. These pigments form part of the berry’s natural composition and contribute to its characteristic deep purple colour. Our extract contains a minimum of 5% anthocyanidins, providing a consistent concentration of these naturally occurring compounds.
One of the particularly enjoyable features of this Elderberry Extract is its naturally pleasant flavour. It has a mildly sweet and slightly tart berry taste, making the powder easy to incorporate into drinks, smoothies and other recipes. You can also mix it with yoghurt, porridge or other foods for a simple way to enjoy the rich flavour of Elderberry.
In addition, the fine powder makes this concentrated botanical easy to use. Capsules provide another option for those who prefer a ready-to-use format without the berry flavour.
Today, Elderberry remains a popular traditional botanical, particularly during the colder months. Its long history, rich colour and pleasant berry flavour make it a favourite among people interested in traditional herbs and natural plant products.
We offer this extract in several powder sizes and vegetarian capsule options. Choose the format that best suits your preferences and needs.
