Did you know?

The cream-coloured, umbrella-shaped flower heads of the elder, used for syrups, liqueurs and cordials, with an aroma recalling muscat grape. ⚠️ The same plant's raw berries, leaves and stems cause upset; only the flowers and cooked berries are used.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
