Is my sambuca safe?

The question ‘is a plant safe to eat?’ goes back for millennia. Some plants are obviously poisonous and can be very quick to kill. Most others range from being completely safe to eat for most people, to one or two parts being edible if processed correctly. This is much the same as eating animal products, with some being immediately toxic and others safe, even eaten raw. The Puffer Fish is a deadly fish if eaten but certain parts can be carefully removed and delicately prepared to make a fancy and rare delicacy.
