What is chokeberry?
Aronia is a type of October bush and belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae). Its fruits are small, dark blue berries that are not recommended to be eaten fresh. Because of the bitter taste, all but red aronia are recommended for consumption as aronia juice. Or in the preparation of wine, tea, syrup, jam, smoothies and liqueurs. They are available both frozen and powdered, so you can easily add them to your recipes.
They are originally from the eastern part of North America. It is interesting that aronia as a bush is resistant to drought, insects, pollution and diseases. Therefore, it is not necessary to use pesticides.

Interesting history of aronia
North American Indians were the first to use aronia as food, but also as medicine. Since chokeberry fruits remain on the bush for a long time and do not spoil, the Indians ate them. They also dried and ground the fruits and prepared teas for their medicinal properties.
In Europe, it was first mentioned at the beginning of the 19th century in Ukraine because of its beauty. It is known that after the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, chokeberry fruits were used to reduce the health problems of irradiated people.
Due to ignorance of its medicinal properties, aronia was known exclusively as an ornamental plant. It remained so until the 20th century.
The first breeding variety of aronia was created by a Russian biologist and pomologist. The irony is that the first cultivation in the USA (aronia's country of origin) began only around 1997.
Back to practicality, which is still good to know if you're buying aronia juice.
