GET TO KNOW THE PLANT

Aronia fruits grow in North America in small bunches, much like blackcurrants, blueberries, and cranberries, but have earned the nicknames “apple berries” and “chokeberries” because they look more like stone fruit inside. There are two forms of
chokeberry plants (Aronia melanocarpa); red and blue, though the blue is most common, and has the same blue-black shade of a blackberry. The fruits are about the same size as a blueberry, have a similar sharp taste to blackcurrants, and only
contain 13 calories per 28g (fresh).
Traditionally, Native Americans used Aronia berries as a cold remedy, and likely found them an effective cure due to the berries’ richness in antioxidants, and current studies are showing that they
have wide-spread health benefits.
