Elderberry juice. I still have it, homemade healthy juice. I have a beautiful elderberry tree, which blooms in May. Then I pick flowers, make natural juice. I've heard that some people bread and fry flowers, I haven't tried them. But the juice is definitely healthier and tastier than the store-bought juices. By the way, I practice all the homemade ones, including this juice.
Elder flowers are rich in glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, carotenes and vitamin C. In the berries we can find alkaloids, carotenes and tannins. Elderberries also contain organic acids and vitamins A, B and C. The main reason for the healing properties of elderberries is in the flavonoids it contains because they are powerful antioxidants that protect our cells from damage.
