Frequently Asked Questions
Is this elderberry syrup truly sugar free?
Our syrup contains no refined sugar, no cane sugar, and no artificial sweeteners. The only sweetener we use is local raw honey, which naturally contains sugar. Because of that, we prefer to be completely transparent and describe our syrup as free of refined and added sugars rather than completely sugar free. We do sweeten it with local raw honey, a whole food that contains naturally occurring sugars, so we are always upfront that it is free of added and refined sugars rather than completely sugar free, and we would rather tell you exactly what is in the bottle than make a claim that isn't quite true.
What is actually in it, and is it safe for my kids?
The recipe comes down to five whole-food ingredients and nothing else: organic European black elderberries, organic ginger root, organic cinnamon sticks, organic whole cloves, and local raw honey, with no refined sugars, concentrates, fillers, or preservatives. Because raw honey is part of the formula, we recommend it for everyone in the family aged one and up, since honey is not appropriate for infants under twelve months.
I'm watching my blood sugar or looking for a diabetic-friendly option. Is this right for me?
Many people searching for a diabetic-friendly syrup are trying to steer clear of refined and added sugars, and ours contains none of those, though it is sweetened with raw honey that does include natural sugars. Because everyone's nutritional needs are different, we always encourage anyone managing their blood sugar to review our full ingredient list with their own healthcare provider before adding any new product to their routine.
Without added sugar, will it still taste good?
Many first-time customers are surprised by how much they enjoy the flavor. The sweetness comes from local raw honey, while the elderberries and whole spices create a rich, warm taste that families enjoy year-round. The depth comes from real ingredients working together, with raw honey lending a natural, rounded sweetness and the warming spices adding richness, which is exactly why families find this syrup easy to enjoy and easy to stay consistent with day after day.
