Thanks for all the great info! I was curious how people harvested and dehydrated their own elderberries. Now I just need to find some :)

Great video! I'm just starting out and your video was very informative. I have a question? I read they have a toxin in the seeds. I'm assuming the 125 until done will make them safe to eat?

As the berry ripens the cyanide decreases. Dehydrating does that too. Cooking them (making tea, simmering for stripe, jam/jelly) for a short time completes it

Correct! Cooking them or heating them in any way removes the cyanogenic glycosides.

I’ve never eaten elderberries before. I heard a lot about them when we lived in Idaho, but I never had the opportunity to eat some. But they look delicious. Do you have a big garden?

I do have a raised bed garden but I have our elderberry plants in our berm. They can get very large and thus would be more suitable as a landscaping plant versus garden plant.

Thank you Jeanine! It appears that my exact model is no longer on Amazon (at least right now), BUT it is on the Excalibur website. Here it is directly from the manufacturer: excaliburdehydrator.com/products/3948cdb-excalibur-9-tray-digital-48hr-timer-black?rfsn=6901075.77e7f5&variant=1106608422958

With the frozen first do you think the majority of the medicinal value is gone?
@AllAboutTheHarvest2 жыл бұрын
No I don't. Especially if you are freezing relatively soon after harvesting.

DeStem them first not after freezing. It's easiier.
