SARSZENTAGOTA, Hungary - Demand for the humble Hungarian elderberry has soared this year as U.S. and Chinese buyers have snapped up supplies, attracted by the fruit’s purported health benefits as a supplement to boost the immune system.Elderberries have long been used in traditional medicines in Hungary and farmers have harvested wild clumps.

“Many healthcare supplement producers want elderberry, even if they had never worked with it before,” said Gyorgy Csizmadia, director of the Elderberry Sales Co-operative in the village of Sarszentagota. A lower-than-expected yield also contributed to a four-fold rise in prices to more than 400 forints per kg.
