Crushed Black Elderberries

Description

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, black elderberries have the highest concentration of anthocyanins (antioxidants) – almost twice as high as in any other berries. The anthocyanins found in black elderberries are the most powerful naturally occurring antioxidants, working to protect your body’s cells from potential free radical damage. These berries also boost your immune system.

HOW TO USE: Black elderberries aren’t as sweet or moist as raisins, but they’re a valuable addition to the same recipes where you’d typically use raisins (in hot water-soaked or cooked oatmeal, muffins, cookies, bread, and even vegetable dishes or muesli mixes).

MANASGARSAS.LV TIP: Try making a delicious and healthy tea from dried elderberries and blackcurrants. Add a little fresh or dried, ground ginger, and a spoonful of honey.
