Our farmers are growing American selections of elderberries and each of our products are made using these same berries.

​

American black elderberry selections are known as Sambucus canadensis and they are much different than other elderberries grown around the world.

  • We call them selections instead of varieties because they have been 'selected' from the wild, tested and grown commercially with success.

  • This means the selections we are growing here in the US are native to the US.

  • The canadensis elderberry does not contain the same precursors of cyanide as other elderberries, meaning they can be processed using little to no heat. 

  • Lower heat in processing ensures the berry maintains most of the beneficial qualities which are normally lost using high heat.

See why we are so crazy about them?
