Elderberry flower refers to the flowers that grow on the elderberry plant, scientifically known as Sambucus nigra. These flowers are small, delicate, and white or cream-colored, and they bloom in large clusters in the late spring or early summer.

Elderberry flowers have a sweet, floral fragrance and a slightly bitter taste. They are often used in traditional medicine and herbal remedies for their potential health benefits, including boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and relieving cold and flu symptoms.

Elderberry flowers can also be used in culinary applications, such as in syrups, teas, and desserts, and are commonly used to make elderflower cordial, a sweet and refreshing beverage.
