Botanical Name: Sambucus nigra
Country of Origin: Europe, Turkey
English Name: Elderflower Whole
French Name: Fleurs de Sureau Entières
Also Known As: Sambucus nigra Flowers, Dried Elderflower Blossoms, Elderflower Herb Whole
Part Used: Whole dried flower heads of Sambucus nigra
Description: Elderflower Whole is obtained from the delicate, fully opened flower heads of Sambucus nigra, a deciduous shrub native to Europe and western Asia and widely cultivated in temperate regions. The plant produces small, creamy-white flowers in dense, flat-topped clusters known as cymes, which are harvested at peak bloom to ensure uniform structure and colour.
After harvesting, the flower heads are carefully separated from stems and plant debris and gently cleaned. They are then dried using controlled low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while maintaining the natural cream to pale yellow colour, intricate petal arrangement, and characteristic floral aroma, resulting in a visually appealing botanical ingredient.
The dried elderflowers retain their full cluster form, soft texture, and natural appearance. The intact blossoms are lightweight and delicate, making them suitable for applications where whole floral material is preferred, and ensuring easy handling, storage, and blending.
Uses: Elderflower Whole is used in tea-style infusions, herbal beverage blends, culinary flavouring, and decorative herb displays. The whole flowers are also suitable for botanical craft projects, educational herb kits, potpourri-style blends, and creative applications where dried blossoms are desired for their visual appeal, texture, and natural colour.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
