ARONIA BERRY – ARONIA MELANOCARPA
The Aronia berry is an indigenous North American berry that was traditionally found in the Eastern USA and Canada. The “Aronia Berry,” commonly called “chokeberry,” is a nutritionally dense whole food; it is a rich source of antioxidants.
Aronia berries have higher antioxidant levels than other berries. Not only are they low in sugar, but they also contain beneficial nutrients, such as quercetin, quinic, minerals, and vitamins.

Every year we go up to Silvios Farm to pick Aronia Berries! We freeze these berries so we can use them daily in our smoothies! We have noticed a difference in our health and energy levels. We always have a fun time, picking Aronia berries at Silvio’s farm and seeing Silvio and Silvio’s friendly dog Roman. We will be back!
