Ingredient Overview
Elderberry has a long association with European syrups and fruit preparations. Its dark colour comes partly from anthocyanins, the pigments used to characterise these extract grades.
Elderberry extract is made from Sambucus nigra fruit. The dark berries have a recognisable place in fruit syrups and seasonal food traditions. Anthocyanins contribute to their appearance and provide a focus for extracted ingredients. Elderberry brings this familiar berry background into botanical formulations, where the fruit’s composition matters alongside its colour and flavour.
