@Sophistifunk you can't eat them directly, but can cook and make a juice or syrup from them which is very tasty. taste is sweet-sour with a slight note of smoke, imo. it's a classic drink for the winter here, usually heated.

@Sophistifunk cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambucus

@Sophistifunk seems that the australian species might be edible too.

@bonifartius Intredasting, chur. I like my berries of the “pick and eat while gardening” variety 😂

@Sophistifunk the net says that the variants in australia can be eaten raw, but i can't verify that of course :D

@bonifartius sounds risky 😂

@Sophistifunk

Have eaten them raw in very small quantities. And if you take the time, you could probably train your body to coup with large quantities as well.

@bonifartius

@bonifartius I might plant one see how it goes
