Frequently asked Questions
Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa), also called black chokeberry, is a small, dark purple berry from a hardy shrub native to eastern North America. The berries are tart and dry, so they are usually enjoyed as juice, powder or dried berries. Learn more in our guide to aronia berries.
You can buy organic aronia juice directly in our aronia juice collection — available as a 700 ml glass bottle or an economical 3 L bag-in-box.
Aronia melanocarpa or black chokeberry is a multi-stemmed, deciduous, eastern North American shrub. Each mature plant produces an abundance of white flowers in midspring, but you won’t see fruit until autumn. The berries are so darkly purple that they appear almost black.
A typical serving is 100 ml of organic aronia juice, 1–2 tablespoons of dried organic aronia berries or 1 tablespoon of organic aronia powder. If you are not used to tart foods, start with a smaller amount.
Of course! Fresh Aronia berries can be eaten by young and old directly from the bush. Freshly nibbled in small quantities, mixed in a smoothie, made into homemade jam or as an ingredient for sweet cakes and desserts or savoury sauces and chutneys – fresh Aronia berries can be used in the kitchen in a versatile and creative way and the dark plant dyes will conjure up a bright violet in your food! Fresh Aronia berries have a sourish-tart taste and therefore harmonise both sweet and savoury cuisine.
This is entirely a matter of taste and you can decide according to your individual habits. For a daily sip of Aronia or a refreshing juice spritzer, Aronia juice is ideal. If you prefer muesli for breakfast or enjoy eating dried fruit, we recommend the dried Aronia berries. If you like to conjure up fresh smoothies and are open to creative recipe ideas, then you could choose the Aronia powder.
What are Aronia Berries?
Aronia berries 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 the 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 fruit is about the same size as a blueberry, has the similar sharp taste of blackcurrants, and only contains 13 calories per 28 g (1 oz fresh).
Indigenous peoples of North America traditionally dried chokeberries and mixed them with other foods for the winter. Today, aronia berries are grown on organic farms in North America and Europe and enjoyed as juice, powder and dried berries.
