Nutritional benefits of elderberry;
-Vitamin C – One cup of elderberry contains around 50 milligrams of vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential to our health for many reasons, including lowering blood pressure, boosting collagen, and preventing iron deficiency.
-Calcium – One cup of elderberry contains around 50 milligrams of calcium. Calcium is a mineral that keeps bones strong, as well as support muscles and nerves.
-Fiber – Elderberry contains about 10 grams of fiber in each cup. This is a substantial amount because the recommended amount in a day for an adult is between 28 and 34 grams. Fiber is necessary for improving bowel function and reducing blood pressure.
-Flavonols – Flavonol helps to reduce inflammation, as well as aiding in disease prevention.
-Anthocyanin – This is what gives elderberries its blue and black coloring. Anthocyanins act as antioxidants, and may have a positive effect on blood vessels and help fight off infection and diseases.
