Learn with Green Deane about elderberries, both black and red, wild food. While some are considered toxic they can be made edible. 135 of Green Deane's You Tubes are availble on DVDs: www.eattheweeds...
Hey, my mom used to make pie and we would have to travel up high altitude to obtain the fruit which my family thought was poison until cooked. The elderberry pie was incredible, it had crunch from the seeds and looked like caviar. I know it was cooked and less nutritous but your vid brought back fond memories. Thanks! I liked and subscribed. My mom was cured of terminal cancer way back then by a weed called grease wood or chapperell. She made a tea and drank it cold with a chaser of grapejuice.
Thank you so much for leaving your older vids up! I just recently found you and am frantically trying to "catch up" ! Fantastic information in every vid I've seen so far !!
Actually, I don't have a job per se... As for after all hell breaks loose... I can find food nearly anywhere... all my friends say they are coming to my house.
EatTheWeeds ::: that's what my friends say to,,,, but i don't have a house...
I placed a lot of pollinating flowers upside down in Argentine pampa honey for a few days.Extremely nice tasting and intense vivid dreams afterwards.
We've make elderberry wine before, usually I don't like wine much but this wine was one of the best drinks I've ever tasted :P
Elderberry syrup and jam, jellies so good! One of my fall favorites is cranberry elderberry jam..
I used to make elderberry dumplings in my gluten eating days.
I was born and raised in south Fla, they seemed to be almost everywhere.
Hardest part is trying to get to them before the birds do.
Thank you for the videos! I'm a California native and we didn't have many green spots around, but my interest in plants (domestic and wild) has always been there. Since moving to Georgia I have had a chance to put much of these tips to work. Thank you for everything!
This is a great circumstantial video that shows how to recognize elderberries that are fit for consumption, as elderberries are often mistaken with their cousin that looks almost exactly like them. This is a greatly beneficial fruit that unfortunately many people don't pay enough attention to.
Did one two weeks ago, and have one more waiting for a break in the weather. Been raining a lot.
You're the man EatTheWeeds. I love these videos.
Elderberry pie and jam. Mom used to can them and have them for winter pies. Dad make wine
Esther- Can you share the process for canning elderberries, please?
Only mother nature knows why the seeds of the red ones are toxic and the seeds of the black ones are not. All unripe elderberries are toxic, black and red. People may also have allergies to them raw even when ripe, so cooking is recommended. Proceed carefully, especially with the red ones.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Sir
Just something i know about elderberries:
I grew up in Northern Utah along the Wasatch Front. Black Elderberries grow in the alpine areas there, but don't like the more arid valleys. Red Elderberries did not grow wild at all there.
I later moved to Oregon. Both species occur here but black elder berries seem to prefer higher altitudes.
Both set blossoms out at the same time (spring - early summer), but red elderberries ripen in mid-to-late july.
Black elderberries don't ripen until the first of september; in utah they can lag into november, but it's for the better because they're sweeter after the first frost.
I live and get my black elderberries from an alpine area along the wasatch front (Huntsville). 😉❤
The wood from this tree was used to make the "Elder Wand", so be careful - especially when you can come by Thestral tail-hair...
When I was 10 and 11 I used to eat elderberries from the woods all the time! Some people claim they can be confused with pokeberries, which are poisonous, but they don't look anything like pokeberries.
Poke berries and elderberries don't look much alike. However, young elderberry shrubs and older water hemlock does confuse some people.
@@greendeane1 When I was 9 years old I was riding home from a friend's house and saw a bunch of kids picking pokeberries. I asked them why they were doing that and did they know they are poisonous. They insisted you could boil them but I said I don't think so. I brought one home to my dad and he said do not eat those. He called them "sickberries".
I made a tincture of the berries and take a half dropper when I feel any tingling in my throat. Works every time.
Mr Green Deane, I been wanting to make elderberry juice with fresh elderberries but what’s stopping me from doing this is How hot does the water needs to be to neutralize the poison from fresh elderberries .
I’m scared of over heating the elderberry and killing all its benefits .
If you can be so kind on giving me some information on water temperature for fresh elderberries , I will be very appreciated
I bought a container of black elderberries at the local health food market and ate them all in one sitting right off the stems. I felt GREAT afterwards and wish I had more.
That was a great vid!
1st thing comes to mind about elderberries is ELERBERRY WINE
Seriously! I'm learning to make various fruit ciders, and I want to try an elderberry one. I was cautious about the tree because as someone else observed, the flower clusters look a little like those of hemlock and I am scared off by anything having to do with hemlock, but it seems the berries, not seeds, not leaves stems or anything green, are fine.
True. Got to know what your getting.
thank you for this valuable information!! i just planted some elderberries in some pots to get them started
Oh very interesting! I will definetely look closer this year. I was so preoccupied with serviceberries and wild grapes that I'm sure I missed out on lots of other good things...But the grape jelly is great.
The state of Florida plant maps show elderberries growing in your area. I'm in Orlando and they are plentiful here.
Where? I am in Seminole County sir. I have been searching for these plants. I would even meet you somewhere to purchase a stem to put into the ground to grow if I need to.
@@SadeWithTheReceipts My gosh.... everywhere where it is wet. They are so common they are actually a trash tree.
@@greendeane1 really? I’ve never seen one. That I know of 🤷🏽♀️
I am an ethnobotanist in Japan. Japanese elderberries are believed to be poisonous. I am not sure if they are, and have not tried to find out. However, I interviewed an elderly couple that has been using the leaves, dried, as a tea to combat diabetes for over 20 years. I do not know if this can be done with the elderberries that grow in the Americas.
I just picked some black elderberries this week. I am making some jam up out of them.
I thought that red elderberries were a no no so I learned something new today! :)
Thanks,
Dora Renee' Wilkerson
thank you for posting all of these videos!
what does the toxicity cause and can it be lethal?
Oh, most definitely. I went out on a legal limb mentioning the red elderberries and just didn't want to compound my potential troubles by mentioning the medicinal side as well.
The flowers are a great early summer treat! I make a saft, or cordial
Make a nice syrup for various uses, too.
@EatTheWeeds Thanks for replying, I actually live in Ireland ( does this make a difference to the size ?) and the tree was planted by my grandfather around 80 years ago, it is actually about 30ft Tall. I have many pictures of it.
The seeds are edible. I have tossed a handful of black elderberries into my tea mug and after adding hot water (120 F) I was able to drink the warmed juice. I also chewed on the seeds, I've been doing this for three weeks and it hasn't bothered me yet.
I would imagine the short contact the sap has with the wood is no worry.
Im geeked out i have elderberries here on my indiana farm picked yesterday.I used a fork to get them.
To my knowledge seedless pulp and or juice of the red elderberry should be cooked before consumed. The seeds are not edible. Period.
@metalhead0jtk The young growth with the blossoms are not a problem. In fact, on report says young shoots are edible cooked, but I have not tried that.
an herbalist from the late 1800's referred to the flower tea as "Liquid Light" and said it was considered a favorite of the fairies. I make the 16th century fermented flower recipe as given in Stephen Harrod Buhner's delightful book, "Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers". It is similar to champagne. I grew up on Catalina Island, the Sambucus there, (fruit is black) made wonderful pies. But it is easy to mistake for ripe a partially ripe berry, with only a touch of greenish blush on the blue black. Eating 2 or 3, set me to the bathroom where I evacuated everything from both ends, very strongly!! So, to avoid that experience, just use the berries cooked.
Jennifer Ho can I have the recipe for the flower drink you are talking about?
@elvis459 Oh yes, it makes a big difference. Your elderberries tend to be toxic. Check with a local expert.
@EatTheWeeds So the little stems attached to the blossoms are okay? I live near a preserve for the "elderberry longhorn beetle" Its a huge (fenced in) field covered in elderberry bushes. The fences are temporary so the bushes don't get damaged. All that for a beetle >_
Thanks so much I just saw one in town last season and didn't know what it was. I thought it was a sort of black berry tree but different. I can't wait to gather them up. How to save them? Can they be frozen?
@singtoangels They grow all around you. I would look for them along stream banks.
The accompanying article on my website covers that. Local ones turn dark purple.
Oh yes, up into Canada as well. In fact, they are in the wild in your state now, both kinds, black and red.
If you eat poke, swallow the berries whole, don't chew, start small. ALWAYS boil the poke weed leaves in 3 different clean batches of water before you consume. The berries make nice bright purple ink
I have an elder tree ??? in my garden it is at least 25 foot tall, is the fruit the same ?
We had a bumper crop of elderberries this year. Must have picked 10-20 Gallons. We made pies, jams, jellies, and dies. Wish we'd known about the harvesting trick before we manually de-stemmed everything!
DO NOT mistake these for the poke berry, the poke berry plants look the same exept the poke berries come in a long straight pod but elderberries come a more wide pod i made that mistake and they did not taste good at all and after eating only a couple i got a bad stomach ache WATCH OUT
Poison!!!!!!
Sorry, but pokeweed looks nothing like elderberry.
Pokeberry is very different from pokeweed!
A7X ANIMALS
If you got sick after eating a couple poke berries did you also chew the seeds. It's the seeds that are poison not the fruit. Just like red elderberries seeds are poison.
Randall Laue
You’d have to be a goon to mistake a pokeberry for an elderberry and pokeberries have medicinal values but you have to take to seeds out,
Ten to twelve foot elderberry bushes? Wow! In the southern Sierra Nevadas I've only seen shrubs much shorter -- but then, I may not be looking in the right place.
@Morvarid06 Interesting. What's teh botanical name of the green elderberry?
Is it safe to make tea with fresh or raw Elderberry or do I really need to dry them ? And Incase I can make tea with fresh Elderberries, how hot does the water need to be to neutralize the toxic that elderberries have when raw ? One more question, does elderberry tea taste better when they are fresh or dried ?
I read in the book Back To Eden by Jethro Kloss that it was the pith of the black Elderberry that was poisonous and that the inner bark could be used medicinally.
GOOD FOR YOU, THAT BOOK IS AWESOME
Not that I know of. Elderberries have five-petaled flowers.
Interesting video Mr.G.D. I have a couple of trees at home. I did not know theatre edible. My grandma used to cut the beautiful flowers for me (smell so good)
This video is so awesome. and because of it I will be checking out yr website. Thx for sharing!
thanks, I love this video. I aways make wine from the black ones. its a good cold and flu med. I live on the Mississippi coast
Water and elevation can make a difference as well...
Do you think elderberry would grow in my backyard?
I live in northern CA where the temp is moderate, but my yard gets a great deal of sunlight.
Remember.. its the seeds in the ripe red elderberry that are toxic....
When I was a kid, Black Elderberries fruited and were easily accessible. Now that I want them to grow, they disappear before they are ripe. Birds, I guess.
hello green dean! hopng to find an elderberry cordial recipe. just fresh picked some.
Interesting how you can eat the blossom and the ripe berries, but not the stage between them when the berries are green. How do the go from safe to toxic to safe?
Sorry I didn't see it sooner. Of the plants I've done videos on most are found in your area seasonally (and even more of those on my web site.) From the videos the plants found in your area are: Mulberry, sassafras, American lotus, yellow pond lilies, smilax, beebalm, grapes, elderberries, chickasaw plum, duck potatoes, lichen, day lilies, amaranth, opuntia, henbit, plantagos, chickweed, thistles, sorrels, pokeweed, pepper grass, mustard, wild lettuce and hawksbeard. Which one did you find?
That video was made several years ago with a grainy camera. When the video were transferred to my DVDs some of them were cleaned up a bit.
@DenniszVideos First, where do you live? Next, they usually are very tall and not something one would step on, and what do you mean by a "red-ball type."
We all hav slightly or very different constitutions, immune system health is a big factor, as Deane says the wood parts of the palnt hav cyanidic compounds in them. The freezing suggestion I like very much and will try that. also elderberries are one of the highest sources of Calcium Pangamate(B12), a strong cancer preventative and they are yummy too lol, Thanks Green Deane great stuff
How did the native people use the Elder Berry? An what is the spiritual significance of them to the Native Ipai people?
If you were to dip the blossoms in batter to make a fritter out of it is it important to not include the tiny branches that hold the blossoms all together? Or did you mean pick the blossoms and dip them in batter? Maybe I miss heard it, but I don’t want to poison myself :-)
If one were thinking of eating elderberries for immune strengthening for the coming flu season.
what type of elderberry's would you recommend taking?
In what form?
Is there any other foods or supplements that help with better absorption?
Is there any type of foods or supplements that might hinder absorption?
ive always wanted to eat the blacks ones i see everywhere( live in northern ireland)but ive always been told its not safe ,so can i munch them really and make such things as sorbets?
ive found a patch close to me growing close with wild raspberries,i took some canes for my gardens cuz they are lush!
LOVE your videos and website. Thank you for sharing :)
@TingleAndJingle Better, look around for little shoots. They are usually all over the place. Take some of them home and plant them. That's what I did.
i eat some dozens of red elderberries fruit yesterday, in the late eveing, and i believe it might have helped with my stomach problems. but The Lord knows!
The color in elderberries is full of antocyianins like blackberrys and blueberrys. Aslong as you cook them or process them with vinegar etc theres no problems.
Lots of these grow next to the canals in Birmingham u. K.
Fresh ripe elderberries make some people ill if consumed in more than just small quantities. Usually they are used non-fresh, such as dried or preserved in some way (wine, syrup, medicine et cetera.) Also elderberry species vary greately from toxic to partially toxic to non-toxic. Some have toxic seeds but not toxic flesh. Some are all toxic, some are all edible. It varies. Also drying or preparing them usually improves the flavor greatly.
Thank you
Do some elderberries bloom earlier? I see some with flower buds now and others are only putting out leaves.
Very informative. Much Blessings to you. Thanks for sharing, Lord-Jesus-Christ dot
They should grow there. You can buy cultivars or dig up young wild ones. One word of caution: They for a stand and the stand slowly moves, adding new bushes as the old ones die.
Best jam for pancakes!!!
Hello, quick question: do black elderberries have seeds??? I have some at my house but I don't want to eat them yet until I'm sure.
We have them in arkansas and oklahoma
i wonder what they taste like. am new to elderberry
This is so helpful! Thank you.
I was told that you can’t eat them and they are toxic unless you cook and process them
Couple of corrections "not in europe" at one stage, we have an identical subspecies to which this video applies, so it's misguiding. Also can be good for jams!
monstercolorfun co You also have toxic species so be careful.
I have a question I had a friend give me some and then I went and pick some that grow close by.... When I was beginning the cleaning process I noticed that some even when not green had green insides and others were purple inside. Does that mean the ones I picked were not elderberries? They had a kind of white coat over the purple but not completely white.
I grew up eating elderberry jelly , syrup. My mother and brother and I would go out to the country roads and pick them. Back in the 70's my friend made homemade jellies, did a lot of canning and my father use to fish up in Wi and my mother would can fish for samon patties. A lot people in the future will lose a lot of this trade on homemade goods
So no black elderberries in Canada? I remember seeing some berries last year...and I thougth they were elderberries..but that was months ago and I never positively identified them.
Deane thanks for this one, I just went out for a bit I found a bunch of them. I got them home stuck my hand in the bag and got bit by a bee!!! OWWW
Then someone told me about the red elderberries, so I had to rewatch this video. I want to go on another walk with you, I still feel like Neo in the Matrix when I go for a walk in the woods.
Amazing knowledge base. Do chemtrails land on plants
Urgent:
i have an elderberry tree in my back garden. The stems are RED-Green-Purple mix. but the berries are Black when ripe and very mushy to the touch.
They also are very Green at a very early stage (i know the greens light reds on this tree to be toxic)
But looking at your elderberry tree here, the stems are GREEN... mine are not.
can you please advise. currently they are frozen on my freezer ready for preparation, but im reluctant incase they are poisonous.
Alex
Your European Elderberries are the same plant as our Black Elderberries "Sambucus nigra". Just different common names:
Elder, Elderberry, Black Elder, European Elder, European Elderberry, European Black Elderberry, Common Elder, or Elder Bush
Anthocyanins - like blackberries and blueberries - are considered to be highly beneifical to health, particularly recognized through reseach as pwoerful antioxidants. Blackberries and blueberries do not have to be cooked, fermented, or 'processed with vinegar' to be eaten in quantity. Elderberries have a simlar long record of safe use by humans, eaten raw. Not sure where your info is from, but it runs counter to info from solid sources (and direct experience).
I've had a delicious navel orange tree that got the florida greening and some other debilitating disease. I was going to dig it out and put it on the fire but it was rotting away just fine. I then planted several cutting of wild elderberry and they are towering over this decrepit tree. Last fall I noticed the orange tree growing nice leaves. This March blossoms are springing up and the fragrance is blowing in my window. I have to move several branches of the elderberry to see the orange tree and it's looking green and healthy. The fruit will appear next christmas. I might have the cure for florida greening. Hopefully
Isn’t there three types of elderberries ? One with the red stems, white stems and the red elderberry
@Victoriam4074 That type of flower is called an unbel here as well.
