Aronia berries pack in more nutrients and antioxidants than either blueberries or elderberries. Raw, they can be slightly astringent, but cooking or mixing with other fruits helps bring out their wild grape flavor. They are native New England fruit, also known as the chokeberry.
Store in a plastic bag in the freezer until ready to use.
I've been eating these near-daily in vegan yogurt for months now, because yes. But I just got my quarterly cytokine panel back- a blood test that helps me monitor my inflammation and immune dysfunction- and ALL my historically wildly busted inflammatory markers are NORMAL. This is C R A Z Y, guys. I'm reading all the NIH.gov papers now on aronia's anti-inflammatory and other compounds, and wow. KEEP THESE COMING!!!
These are so good, especially cooked in oatmeal.
