Description: Two well established bare root York elderberry plant. -Self Pollenating-Elderberries have been an important native food and medicine source for thousands of years around the globe. The berries have a pleasing sweet-tart flavor and should be cooked before eating (except in small quantities). They are often made into elderberry wines, jams, syrups, and pies. The flowers are also edible; the entire flower cluster can be dipped in batter and fried, while petals can be eaten raw or made into a fragrant and tasty tea. Both fruit and flowers are very nutritious and medicinal - they contain high levels of healthy polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamin C, and vitamin A. The flowers in particular contain flavonoids and rutin, which are known to improve immune function.
