Frontier Co-op Organic Whole European Elderberries, 16 oz pouch — dried, kosher-certified for syrups & teas

Frontier Co-op Organic Whole European Elderberries are responsibly sourced dried elderberries sold in a 16 oz pouch for culinary and herbal preparations.

These whole, dried European elderberries arrive from organic farms in Bulgaria and are packaged by Frontier Co-op in a one-pound bag. They’re a pantry ingredient used in teas, syrups, cordials, baking, and small-batch extracts. The berries are dark purple, tart to slightly bitter when dried, and develop richer flavor when simmered into recipes or steeped into infusions.

How do these elderberries add flavor to recipes?

Dried European elderberries bring a deep, tangy fruit note and a naturally astringent edge that mellows with sweetening and heat. When cooked or steeped, their flavor becomes fuller and pairs well with citrus, ginger, and warming spices. They’re a useful base for concentrated syrups or flavoring winter beverages.

• Use in simmered syrups and cordials with honey or sugar.
• Blend into jams and compotes for color and tartness.
• Add to tea blends for a dark fruit note and aroma.

What form do the berries come in and how should I store them?

These are whole, dried elderberries sold loose in a sealed 16 oz bag to retain aroma and freshness. Keep the pouch tightly closed and store in a cool, dark, dry place to preserve flavor and color. For longer storage, transfer to an airtight container or refrigerate.

• Packaged whole and shelf-stable in a resealable pouch.
• Best kept away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
• Refrigerate or freeze for extended freshness if needed.

How can I use these elderberries safely in the kitchen?

Cook the dried berries before consuming; simmering softens the fruit and extracts flavor. Strain solids when making syrups, tinctures, or teas to remove seeds and pulp. Follow tested recipes for dosages in syrups, extracts, or concentrated preparations.

• Simmer 15–30 minutes for teas and syrups to extract flavors.
• Strain through a fine mesh or cheesecloth for smooth liquids.
• Combine with sweeteners and spices to balance tartness.
