★☆☆☆☆ DON'T BUY "These aren’t actually purple they are putrid grey with specs of dirt looking things."
Ouch. Okay, that one hurt. I stumbled on this review on Amazon the other day and, I’ll be honest, my heart just sank. It made me realize that maybe we haven't done the best job explaining why our lollipops look the way they do. So, my bad. But I promise you, those little ‘specs of dirt-looking things’ are the whole point—they’re bits of real, actual elderberries!
Elderberry has gotten so popular lately, and you see it everywhere, especially in those gummy vitamins. The thing is, when I first started looking for my own family, I was shocked that most of them were basically just sugar.
We work so, so hard to find ingredients that get you the real power of the actual berry. That's why our pops aren't a bright, fake-looking purple. You can literally see the fruit when you hold one up to the light. It also means they can be a little grainy sometimes, because that’s the texture of the dried elderberry itself. We wanted to keep it that real.
I know you’re trying to take care of the people you love most, and all we want to do is help with that. That’s why we’re so obsessed with sourcing quality ingredients for everything we make.

What is Elderberry?
So, what even is elderberry? A few years ago, I barely knew myself. I just kept hearing about it from other moms. It’s this little dark berry that comes from a Sambucus tree, which sounds super fancy, I know. For literally centuries, people have been using it in traditional medicine to help with all sorts of things, from the common cold to other ailments.
You can find it as a syrup or a tea, but because it’s packed with so many good things, it’s really found its place as a superfood. I’ve been reading up on it, and it seems like the scientific community is finally starting to pay more attention and study all the antioxidants and vitamins packed into these little berries. It feels like they're just starting to prove what people have known for generations.
Why Organic Elderberry Lollipops?
Alright, so why put it in a lollipop? I get that it might sound a little weird, but for me, as a mom, it just made so much sense. It’s become a total go-to in our house, especially when the seasons start to change.
This is how I usually think about it:
-
Convenient On-the-Go Solution
-
Portability: Honestly, who has time to measure sticky syrup when you’re trying to get a kid out the door? I just throw a few of these in my bag and we’re good to go.
-
Accessibility: No mess, no measuring spoons. You can have one anywhere, which is a lifesaver.
-
Kid-Friendly
-
Taste: This is the big one. Let's face it, trying to get my little one to take anything that even smells like medicine is a battle. A full-on struggle.
-
Fun Factor: But a lollipop? It feels like a treat, not a chore. It’s a completely stress-free way to get some goodness into them.
-
Nutrient-Rich
-
Vitamins: It's not just sugar on a stick. There are vitamins like A, B, and C in there, which are all great for keeping your immune system humming.
-
Antioxidants: And just like the berries themselves, the lollipops are full of antioxidants that help protect you from all the gunk out there.
-
Safe for Pregnant Women
-
Moderation: When I was pregnant, I was so paranoid about everything. A lollipop felt like a really safe, controlled serving size, so I knew exactly what I was getting.
-
Convenience: For those days with morning sickness and just feeling drained, having something quick and easy to get a nutrient boost was just… invaluable.
-
Perfect for Sore Throats and Coughs
-
Soothing: This is my favorite part. When you have a sore throat, you want something that lasts. A lollipop just slowly coats your throat, and it feels so soothing.
-
Long-lasting: I read somewhere that elderberry has anti-inflammatory properties, and I really feel like that slow release helps prolong that calming feeling on a scratchy throat.
-
Made with Quality Ingredients
-
Organic: We’re really serious about this. Using organic elderberries means you’re not getting any weird pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
-
Artisanal Craftsmanship: We make them in small batches. It's not some giant factory thing; it’s just us, trying to make something we’d feel good about giving our own kids.
-
Versatility
-
Flavor Varieties: We try to keep the flavors simple and delicious, combining the elderberry with other things we love.
-
Suitable for All Ages: They’re not just for kids! I take them, my husband takes them. They’re just an easy, simple option for anyone in the family.
