Why would you want to? They tase awful until cooked and sweetened.

They are edible even when raw but if you eat huge quantities they could make you have an upset stomach and maybe a little nauseous

Avoid unripe, green berries—they’ll get you sick. Even raw ripe elderberries make some people nauseous Cooking or drying dispels the offending substance, and greatly improves the flavor.
