- In this video I show you how to forage for wild elderberries. I give you several great tips for harvesting and eating these delicious berries. Like many wild edibles, elderberries contain trace amounts of toxins. I also explain how to get around this and stay safe.

Omg thank you! I am so glad I found this video. I made elderberry syrup with that same exact juicer you have. I haven't found anybody else using a juicer, so I started having heart palpations and was scared I extracted too much cyanide from crushing the seeds. I will start taking less syrup than I did the first day and hopefully that will stop any side effects.
I enjoy how you approached this subject in this video. I rarely like and subscribe, but I liked and subscribed.
You always do a great job on your videos!❤
Thanks for this detailed video
one thing i read online was if you are not sure if a wild thing is toxic to leave one piece on your tongue for 5 or 10 mins to see if there are any reactions. imagine the trial and error our ancestors experienced trying to find medicine in the wild.
I appreciate it all the tips😊
I found similar berries that are dark purple, but grow inside fences, not on a tall tree. They look like black currants or aronia, but ripen in late autumn and are smaller. I was starving and thirsty and they tasted ok then. But later I found they had a very strong aftertaste. I'd have to force myself to eat an excessive amount. And they require sugar and dilution with water.
The cyanide in fruit is over exagerrated. I ate crushed cherry pits, and got nothing. I crushed these berries in a blender very lightly to avoid oxidation and froze them in a jar. This conserves freezer space. I used a shallow jar, and it didn't break.
I realize you are probably a proponent of eating raw, but cooking of elderberries greatly reduces toxins. I also use them medicinally in syrup as a cold/flu preventative or remedy and in jelly and I've never had any problems. They are very high in Vitamin C.
Cooking kills vitamin C!!!!!!!
I know elderberries grow in my area. I thought i found some one day put when i pulled from the tree they had a bad stink to them. Do elderberries have a bad smell?
Looking for some clarification on red elderberries...I'm seeing a lot of mixed opinions on whether or not you can eat cooked red elderberries (without seeds). Anyone know for sure?
My dark elderberries get that white cast: it is powdery mildew, very common in grapes. Not toxic but off tasting when really thick.
thanks for the video. I am confused though. I found some purple elderberries, not blue. are these the red ones that turned purple. if this is what i found, can i eat them raw too? thanks!
He only covered the elderberries found in the west coast of the US. North American elderberries are native to the east coast and midwest. There is a common variety in Europe as well. Check this list: plants.usda.gov/java/ClassificationServlet?source=profile&symbol=SAMBU&display=31
never got sick from them.. me and mom used to pick them by the road... its a city now.. berries gone.
they make the BEST JAM!!
This is a very well informed and laid out video. Thank you~
Great video, thanks for sharing. Elderberries are far more nutritious than they are harmful.
Does cooking them change the toxicity at all?
can you swallow the ripped elderberry seeds? or need to spit out?
It's the seeds that make you sick. If you strain out the seeds you can eat the raw berries without bad effect or suck the juice out of them and spit out the seeds.
Otherwise you must cook them with the seeds to not get sick. I too consider them medicinal raw but cooked, they are great, as jelly, jam and sugar crust pie, yum, yum.
@Old chunk of coal. Like I said suck the juice of them and spit out the seed.
Благодарю, Серёжа, за видео. Очень нужная информация. Я недавно посадила маленький кустик этого растения на углу нашего дома. Не знаю только какого цвета будут ягоды: красного или синего. Надеюсь, что синего. А если вдруг они окажутся красными, то их вообще лучше не сеть или есть еще меньше, чем синих? Спаси Бог.
Do u get tails
imagine being the guinea pig in your village to test those things out lol. hey someone had to all true knowledge is based on observation.
What about the seeds? Very hard to remove with so little fruity flesh
cool stuff :)
i ve never seen elderberries ever turned that white here :S .... they r always having a shiny surface ....and when nobody picks them they just dry ......
apples, cherries, almonds and peaches have an organic cyanide. You don't want to overdo it, but it is also Laetrille or vitamin B17. Look it up and learn.
See Offgrid with Doug and Stacy's videos on elderberries.
Could you do a presentation on
poisonous plants
Peterson Field Guides "Venomous Animals & Poisonous Plants" is a essential guide to 250 Poisonous Plants.
Yes there are different varieties of elderberries. Check with a local expert as to their edibility!
..🦊...it’s nice in a juice 🥤 and/or syrup,.....won’t get you sick,....safe ,....learn how to cook,...thanks for the video,...🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Your father smelt of elderberries! :D Someone please understand that reference...
It's just a flesh wound!
What's your favorite color
wow .. i love life.

I require a shrubbery!
OUR ELDERBERRIES IN GERMANY ARE DIFFERENT LOOKING MORE shining and dark purple
He neglected to identify the other varieties. European elderberry is commonly known as the black elderberry and is the one in which most of the medicinal research has been done.
@@nonewherelistens1906 thanks
I make pie and jelly out of elderberries. They aren't poisonous.
Also where do you live?
The blue elderberries that he refers to and show in the vid are native to the Pacific Northwest (Sambucus Caerulea). He fails to mention that the native elderberry to the remainder of the North American continent are the commonly known American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) a dark blue to purple berry, and the elderberry native to Europe, the European or Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra). Botanists consider all three plants to be related. There are other varieties as well. Additionally, most practitioners who consume elderberries advise gently boiling the fruit for 20 minutes as boiling will neutralize the toxins present in the berry or stems the berry is attached to. I would consider this video to be a bit irresponsible with respect to the consumption aspect of the fruit.
What about elderberry wine been drunk by people since god knows, when I think the elderberries in England are different from the ones you got there ours are black and shiney.
The making of wine or heating the juice, will make some compound harmless & people have been doing dumb things since God knows, is not a reason for you to do dumb things!
I think I’ll pass on the elderberries I just got a whole box of them from a friend of mine and he said that the cyanide compound was present in the green elderberries but when they turned purple you could consume it, but I think I’ll pass, thanks for the video
We collect wild elderberry by the trash bag. We put the bags in the freezer over night and shake the bag in the morning. All the berries separate from the stem. We then cook them in pies. I will eat 10 cups in one setting never got sick.
10 cups raw?
@@scruffypuppy Joe died, too many berries
@@RRaucina😂😂😂
i just ate like a million of these things am i gonna die 😂
You got sick because you dissent wash them you have to boil them because they have a natural sianide in them if not boiled
thanks. i once ate some red ones that look like eldeberries to see what happen. it was fine.
thats what my father gave us retards for.
TGZUS 4:5 and the lord blesseth with retards to test the seed of the land.
@@tgzus40oz2 Amen
The title of the video isn't totally correct. It doesn't discuss "how to eat". Say can you eat the seeds in the berries? Can you cook them? Can you juice them in a juicer? ...
I have an elderberry tree outside of my house I am not joking So I guess I have an infinite amount of elderberries?
Are you sure these are elderberries? They look nothing like elderberry plants Or fruit that I have seen... you should start video with proper identification clip.
Why do you put such irritating background music on your videos? Do you want us to listen to the music or to hear what you have to say because we can’t do both.
Pass...........
and make sure u dont mistake belladonna for elderberries
@Old chunk of coal. twas a joke
If you harvest Elderberries, give some back to Earth, so that new Elderberry-trees can sprout & grow.
I ate raw dried elderberries. DO NOT DO THIS. I was in the fetal position pooping and throwing up. It was horrible. Please cook them guys. It’s not anything I wish on anyone! 😩
Did you eat the elder berry seed too?
Yes same exactly😱
They must be cooked.
Don't mess around with these berries unless you know for sure what you are doing. I never eat them raw or cooked. I do cook them and make juice and jelly out of them. I only use the cooked strained juice. Never the pulp. Never raw.
No matter what other people say, your advice is very wise.
Elder berries sre red wine color. Watch out. These white berries are probably very bad. Elder berries is a dark red wine color and the flawer is white but only the flawer
How bout you cook them, then you can eat them whenever you want……..
I take it that you don't know how to cook Elderberries.
Could have been a great video. Too bad you chose to drown out your voice with a musical soundtrack.
