Finding and Utilizing Elderberries (Sambucus nigra)

On this episode I am joined by my other half Jake. We have a very dynamic relationship as he studies wildlife biology and I study natural product chemistry. Jake works as a wildlife biologist, and a large portion of his job involves evaluating habitat types... which is relevant for todays episode. We will do many other episodes with Jake in the future. Apart from his day job as a biologist, Jake also is a science communicator and educator. He teaches about the sustainability and renewable resources on the landscape. Elderberries, and all other components of the plant do contain some toxic compounds and should not be consumed raw. If you are on medications, consider asking your doctor or herbalist before trying elderberry supplements.
