The ones with higher sugar content should sink, and the unripe ones will float.

A WAY to get them off the stems is to put them in the fezzer In a grocery bag,
(maybe a few or thicker to prevent frezzer burn --- depending on how long it's froze for
and pound the bag against the ground or somthing , and most the berries will fall off.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Francis Eric) http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/sreply/114874 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 20:26:35 GMT http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/reply/114801/t/Unripe-elderberries-edible-.html#reply-114801
Yes, I have eaten the raw ones also with no ill effects. I haven't eaten the grape leaves yet, although I knew they were OK to use for wrapping food in pit bakes. Kay Young makes a type of fritter from the blossoms, I have never tried that. Never tried the friction fires from the elderberry, am going to now though. Thanks for all your input, I really appreciate it.

I also like the taste of the raw fruit and the white flowers and since I am working when I take the time to snack on them I have never cooked them.

Kay Young author of "Wild Seasons - gathering and cooking wild plants of the great plains" is an ethnobotanist and a friend of mine. In her book she relates how most people have no problem eating the cooked ripe fruits, except her:) She finally figured out that if she removed the seeds prior to cooking it did not affect her in a negative manner. She said she also knows of other people who cannot eat even the cooked ones. Many wild edibles are actually like that,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (sandhillcowboy1) http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/sreply/114750 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 07:44:04 GMT http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/reply/114744/t/Unripe-elderberries-edible-.html#reply-114744 feeds@yuku.com (alberto hernandez) http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/sreply/114744 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 05:42:53 GMT http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/reply/114713/t/Unripe-elderberries-edible-.html#reply-114713
Haines, all the info you posted is what I have always adhered to also. I recently came across some info that indicates otherwise, but they do have to be processed. I haven't had time to read the whole thing yet, but sounds interesting.
