Hey elderberry, your moniker...a few years ago when I was in the
army at Ft. 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

My Mom makes fried elderberry blossoms. The blossom heads are dipped in
a think pancake type batter (no beer or coke) and deep fried. You only
want to eat these once or twice a year.

I found this about the leaves from >
http://www.primary.net/~gic/herb/elderberry.htm

> Elder leaves contain the flavonoids rutin and quercertin, alkaloids, vitamin C and sambunigrin, a cyanogenic glucoside.


Fresh elder leaves also contain hydrocyanic acid, cane sugar, invertin,
betulin, free fatty acids, and a considerable quantity of potassium nitrate



My Ukrainian neighbors collect the young Linden blossoms in the spring
and make tea out of the dried blossoms in the winter to prevent colds
and viruses

Thanks blossom. 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
