Aronia berries, also known as chokeberries or black chokeberries come from a deciduous plant that produces creamy flowers. These flowers bloom in the late spring season and later become pea-sized, small, black, and purple berries. Most of these berries have been consumed by wild birds and animals that have the patience to eat a bitter fruit. Organic Aronia berries are cultivated as food products and ornamental plants. Organic chokeberries are more frequently used after processing but can be eaten raw as well.
Generally Aronia berries are seen in gardens as ornamental plants. The origin of this berry is Eastern North America and is found in two species. These two types are classified easily because of their colours. The harvest time of the Aronia Berries is in the autumn when the trees are changing their foliage. Sometimes, these berries are overlooked because their trees are more often used for their landscape and foliage colour rather than for berries. Now, they got their status as a superfood. That’s the reason they are gaining their popularity for harvesting and usage again.
Aronia berries are easy to find in the swamps and wet woods. When the two types of chokeberries cross-pollinate each other, they produce a purple-coloured berry.
The Aronia berries got their name because they have the ability to choke the mouth of a person and create a sensation. Mostly, the large chokeberries are perfect to use for jam.
The major use of the chokeberries is to make juices, soft drinking flavouring, jam, marmalade, and wine. They can also be used in bakery products, added to confectionery, or eaten alone. Chokeberries offer a great flavour when blended with other fruits. After drying them out, they can be added to the other dishes as well.
