Wild Frozen Elderberries — 5 lb Bulk Pack

Wild elderberries have long been valued for their deep, tannic berry flavor and naturally rich anthocyanin content. Gentleman Forager’s elderberries are sourced from clean, well-managed northern growing regions and frozen immediately after harvest to maintain their color, aroma, and potency.
 
A Powerful Ingredient for Culinary & Craft Producers
Frozen elderberries are exceptionally versatile and widely used in:
Syrups, tonics & wellness blends
Brewing, mead & fermentation projects
Jams, preserves & jellies
Sauces for game, pork & poultry
Pastries, glazes & reductions
Craft distillation & infusion programs
 
Their naturally tart, wine-like character adds depth and structure to both sweet and savory preparations.
 
Quality & Sourcing
Our elderberries are cleaned, sorted, and individually quick frozen (IQF) at peak ripeness. This preserves their nutritional integrity and ensures consistent performance in professional kitchens, breweries, and home production settings.
 
How to Use
Because they thaw quickly and release flavor immediately, elderberries work best when simmered or processed directly from frozen:
Reduce gently with sugar or honey for syrups
Use in fermentations for tannin and color
Combine with other wild berries for complex preserves
Fold into pies, crumbles, and baked goods
Use in sauces to complement rich meats
 
This 5-pound bulk pack is designed for makers, chefs, brewers, and anyone who values clean, vibrant northern-grown elderberries.

To protect the integrity of every berry, all of our frozen products ship in insulated coolers with frozen gel packs and always via overnight service. We never use slow ground transport for frozen items. This ensures your fruit arrives solid, vibrant, and in peak condition — a premium process that adds cost, but delivers the quality our customers expect.
