The "chunks you can see are elderberry pulp left over from the juicing process that we choose to leave to boost the phytonutrient levels in our syrup. This pulp, may discolor, but is full of anthocyanins, and polyphenols and is nutrient dense.

while it is recommended to refrigerate all syrups, our oxymels are the hardiest in terms of shelf life. it is never safe to leave any syrup in the sun, or near heat, our oxymels can travel nicely and be left at room temps of 60-70 degrees.
