Black Chokeberry, also called Aronia, is a deciduous shrub native to eastern North America, used by landscapers primarily for its clusters of creamy white flowers in late spring, and colorful
flame-colored autumn foliage contrasting with dark berries.
Aronia was well known to natives and early settlers, but has not been commercially cultivated in the U.S. since the turn of the century. However, in Denmark, eastern Europe and Russia (especially
Siberia) the strongly colored, pungently flavored fruit is quite popular for juice and even wine production.
Aronia Berries are extremely high in antioxidants. Aronia Berries also have the highest anthocyanin concentrations (pigments), and are very high in proanthocyanidins (tannins), in addition to a lot
of other polyphenols . Aronia berries have been used in scientific research because of their extremely high levels of these phytonutrients.
