Know, some oriental people came around the housing area that was adjacent to a woods. It was spring, and the elderberry shrubs were some of the first plants to get leaves. They were leaves and not blossoms, but anyway these folks, I think they were Korean, were collecting the very young, yet-unopened leaf buds by the bagful, presumably to eat. I never tried them, but have often wondered if they were planning to cook and eat them. Do you know anything about that? dkw |

Of course elderberry wine is made too. I've never tasted it but I bet it has a nice color. I did taste an elderberry or two and they are essential inedible by themselves, so it must be all the sugar that's added that makes the elderberry wine. dkw |
