Aronia berry, or Aronia melanocarpa (or chokeberry as it's known colloquially) has triple the antioxidant power of blueberry and twice the power of açai! Aronia berry is easily one of the most potent health foods in the world. Numerous studies are emerging showing the profound effects of the antioxidant compounds found in Aronia berry on heart health, cholesterol, cancer, and diabetes.
The Aronia berry was historically nicknamed “chokeberry” because of the astringency of the fruit, which creates a sensation that can make your mouth pucker!
