ARONIA
Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) – a dark beauty of nature, known for its almost black berries that radiate strength and resilience. Native to North America, aronia has been used in diets and traditional recipes for centuries.
This plant thrives even in harsh climatic conditions, resistant to frost and poor soils. Its small berries are rich in natural plant compounds, and their unique taste, combining slight bitterness and fruity notes, makes them popular in culinary uses.
Aronia is often used for teas, juices, jams, and as a natural coloring agent in the food industry.
ARONIA
Aronia (aronia melanocarpa) came to Europe from the east coast of North America. Initially, it was grown only for aesthetic and decorative purposes. Aronia berries are dark purple in colour, with a sour and lingering taste. The berries ripen in early September and remain on the shrubs until November. The dark green leaves of aronia turn into an astonishing red colour in autumn, creating a beautiful sight. Even more beautiful are its delicate white flowers which become truly magnificent in May, when the aronia shrubs blossom.
According to research on the effects of antioxidants (ORAC), aronia has one of the highest values ever recorded – 16.062 µmol / 100 g. When comparing, the value of other fruits is as follows: blueberries 6.552 µmol; plums 6.259 µmol; figs 3.383 µmol; grapes 1.260 µmol; lemon 1.225 µmol; oranges 984 µmol.
Aronia is called the healthiest plant in the world and is one of the most powerful antioxidants today. Aronia contains over 300 biologically active compounds and is rich in vitamins and minerals.
In addition to the above, aronia is a versatile ingredient in culinary creations, adding a unique flavor profile to dishes and beverages. Its tangy taste can enhance everything from jams and sauces to teas and cocktails. The vibrant purple hue of aronia berries makes them a visually stunning addition to various recipes, appealing to both the palate and the eyes.
