Elixir and superfood berry of Aronia melanocapra - THE ARONIA
Today we discover the Aronia (scientific name Aronia melanocarpa), also known as the black Aronia, which is a plant native to North America, spread mainly in Eastern Europe.
It produces small black fruits, very similar to our blueberries, but with an astringent flavour.
Black Aronia berries are rich in:
antioxidant substances and polyphenols, which prevent premature cellular ageing
assimilable iron
quinic acid, which helps prevent infections and purifies the urinary tract, as well as carotene, a substance that reduces oxidative stress in the eyes
fibre, which improves the digestive process by aiding intestinal motility
