Elderberry or Sambucus nigra is a berry fruit rich in vitamins C, B6, B1, B2, B3 and B5, folate, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, as well as fiber. These minerals make elderberry anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-aging, and filled with antioxidants. Elderberry benefits the whole body through its nutrition. Let us read in detail about what is elderberry.

What Is Elderberry?

The botanical name of elderberry is Sambucus nigra. It belongs to the Adoxaceae family and is a flowering plant. It can be found in the northern hemisphere and some parts of South America. The berries are dark red-purple in color.

Elderberry Uses

Elderberry is used in the form of tincture, jam, jelly, wine as well as syrup. Apart from these, elderberry tea is also found to be effective. The recipe is below:

  • Add elderberry leaves to a cup of water.
  • Boil for 5 minutes. Cover the tea and let it steep for another 5 minutes.
  • Strain and drink every day or as required.

Elderberry Benefits

1. Fit In Your Old Clothes.

What is elderberry good for other than its taste? Elderberry benefits by helping you get into the old clothes that do not fit anymore. The fibers in elderberry help promote healthy weight loss.

2. Get Smooth Skin & Hair For Life.

The anthocyanins in Sambucus nigra prevent skin damage, reverse aging, and detoxify the skin. The antioxidants prevent dandruff as well as falling of hair.

3. Protect The Gift Of Vision.

Eyes are the most sensitive and essential organ of the body. Elderberry benefits the eyes by preventing the development of glaucoma and macular degeneration. The fruit is rich in vitamins A as well as B6, both of which are responsible for maintaining eye health.

If you have weaker bones or suffer from bone density degeneration, then elderberry is the right fruit for you. It is rich in calcium, potassium as well as iron, which are all necessary for maintaining bone health.
