yes, it does sound like you have to be careful: Because of the cyanogenic potential of the leaves, extracts of the plant may be used in foods, provided hydrogen cyanide levels do not exceed 25 ppm in the flavor. Toxicity in children who used peashooters made from elderberry stems has been reported
Yup..we wash them..AND a little leaf or stem is not a big deal. In processing 20 pounds, it is nearly impossible...which is why we pick the blue variety..(CAREFUL with the red berry type)
Great video again John. I noticed that you never mentioned cleaning your berries. Surely you wash them before you use them don't you? Where I live, it is too late in the season to gather them, but I'll look next year. I'm glad to see that you use honey instead of sugar too. Great job once again. Cindy
You seem to have a lot of leaves and stems in your berries, thats not very good as the leaves and stems possibly contain some toxins and shouldnt be included. Your elderberries look a bit different than our cultivated ones here on the east coast, ours never got that heavy blue blush, our are canadensis, are the ones you are picking different?? Crackedcork
