Elderberry, Garlic, Turmeric, Echinacea, Astragalus, and Ginger are some of the many herbs available to us, to make sure we have healthy and strong immunity in the colder season. But.... what to do if Elderberries are sold out again at the herb store? No worries at all, in this episode we'll dive deep into what is so special (but not unique) about Elderberries, these deep red plant pigments called anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid. Luckily we don't find them exclusively in Elderberries but also in many deep red, purple, blue, or black fruits and veggies. Just to name a few, blackberries, aronia berries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, black plums, cherries, dark grapes, pomegranates, purple cabbage, red onions, purple corn, black beans, black rice, and black soybeans. Instead of buying overpriced elderberry syrup from the pharmacy, we can find some of these alternatives in the grocery store or in nature. These plant pigments have so many health benefits, for the heart, arteries, and brain and to fight inflammation and free radicals, that it is a good idea to incorporate them into your diet on a daily basis.
