Dried Aronia Berries — Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa)

Dried Aronia Berries (Aronia melanocarpa / Black Chokeberry) — 100% pure dried whole berries, no sugar added, no preservatives, no additives. One ingredient: aronia.

Aronia melanocarpa (black chokeberry) has one of the highest measured antioxidant capacities of any berry — significantly higher than blueberries, cranberries, or elderberries by ORAC value. The deep pigment comes from anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, the same polyphenol family responsible for the intense dark colour and characteristic tart finish. They also contain quercetin, chlorogenic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin K.

Flavour profile: Deeply tart with a pleasantly astringent, berry-forward character and a mild natural sweetness. Bold and distinctive — pairs well with honey, apple, cinnamon, and other berries to balance the tartness.

How to use:

• Tea / infusion — steep 1–2 teaspoons in boiling water for 10–15 minutes, or simmer gently for a stronger, deeper brew. The infusion turns a vivid dark purple-red.
• Smoothies — soak briefly in warm water for 10 minutes before blending to soften the berries.
• Baking — add directly to oatmeal, muffins, cookies, energy bars, or granola. Holds shape well during baking.
• Yoghurt & porridge — stir in for a naturally fruity, antioxidant-rich topping.
• Syrup base — simmer with water and strain; sweeten with honey after cooling.

Harvested at peak ripeness and gently dried to preserve colour, aroma, and nutritional integrity. Packed in a resealable zip-lock pouch. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
