Elderberry

Black elderberry is common in Europe and Asia and its fruit is used to make jams, juices, drinks and as an ingredient for preserves.

Freezing preserves its nutritional value and flavour throughout the year. Elderberries are rich in vitamin C, B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium. It is also rich in fibre, antioxidants and flavonoids.

Frozen elderberries give you the same benefits as fresh, but allow you to store and enjoy them all year round. You can use them in a variety of dishes and desserts, and use them as an ingredient in jams, juices and drinks.
