Elderberry Syrup - Why Fresh Press?

Not all elderberry syrup is created equal. 🌿 After being introduced to a local elderberry grower, we made the switch from dried to fresh-pressed elderberries and we’ve never looked back.

Fresh elderberries retain their natural juice, color, and powerful plant compounds that are often lost during the drying process. When we press the berries in their natural state, we capture all of the rich elderberry goodness — resulting in a syrup that’s vibrant, concentrated, and true to the fruit. Each teaspoon of ourelderberry syrup delivers over 3,100 mg of pure elderberry — more than a pound of fresh berries in every bottle.

Unlike many elderberry syrups made from dried berries rehydrated with water, our preparation begins and ends with the real thing — fresh elderberries, never from concentrate. The result is a deep, full-bodied syrup that’s both delicious and potent, just as nature intended.

Strong & Healthy Skin :: Fat as Skin Food

Strong & Healthy Skin :: Fat as Skin Food

Is your skin getting the fats it really needs to shine? In this post we break down how essential fatty acids (EFAs) — such as linoleic, gamma linoleic and oleic acids — play a starring role in skin barrier repair, moisture retention and calming inflammation. We share which oils pack the highest linoleic acid (hello, sunflower ~70 %, grapeseed ~72 %) and how you can give your skin that glow both from within and with topical care. Whether you’re treating winter dryness or acne-prone skin, knowing your fats can make all the difference.
