Elderberries, the fruits of the black elderberry (Sambucus nigra), are botanically stone fruits. The glossy black currant has a lot to offer in the culinary field, but is also very healthy. Elderberries are not only tasty for making jam and juice, the elderflower extracts are also a proven remedy. Elderberries contain important minerals such as folic acid, iron and potassium. They are best known for the large amount of vitamin C. That is why the elderberry is an effective home remedy for colds and flu. Natural medicine also often refers to the anthocyanins (a very large group of dyes in red-blue plants) present in the elderberry. This substance has an anti-inflammatory effect and binds viruses. Therefore, it is especially good against cold viruses, provided it is used after the first signs of a cold show up.
