I add a small handful of frozen chokeberries to my protein smoothie every morning, along with wheatgrass juice powder, raw cacao nibs and a bit of raw honey. Amazing way to start the day.
Chokeberry contains one of the highest concentrations of anthocyanins, a superfood that makes fruit purple. You might not want to discard the skin just because it is bitter.
Good question! Most of the medicinal properties are associated with it being very high in antioxidants. Here's an article about it that lists sources: www.healthline.com/nutrition/aronia-berries#what-they-are
Thank you for taking the time to share this info. I hope to plant some soon! I've heard that birds do like them and don't like the berries. What are your thoughts?
Thankyou for this video..i read that chokeberry is very beneficial for cataracts, of hich i have early stages, i am in UK and am not familiar with Chokeberry but i will hunt a juice down, i wondr if i could grow a bush in this climate.
I try to identify this plant in the wild. I have one close to my home. It looks very close to what you show in the video. I am not sure about seeds, because berries have pretty big seeds (3-4 count). Seeds are smaller then grape's ones, but very solid. The flovers are white. Thank you.
I can't identify the plant based on what you wrote, but compare it to this identification guide: www.minnesotawildflowers.info/shrub/black-chokeberry. Good luck!
Are there any berries that look similar to chokecherry that are poisonous? I always worry about making a mistake. What about juneberry and nannyberry? Are there similar berries that could be confused for them? Love your videos. I just happened across them today. I live in a rural area a have many berry shrubs that I am trying to identufy. Using Google "Lens" and watching your videos, I believe I have juneberry, chokecherry, nannyberry, and wild grapes
Yeah, cold pressing definitely makes a higher-quality juice, as I explain in the video. But some people are more concerned with quantity than quality. Which is fine, but I personally prefer it cold pressed!
Watched several Aronia videos yours was very informative compared to others. Thank you!
Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words!
Very well presented. Will it grow in shady areas?
It will grow in part shade!
Will you please share any medicinal properties and uses, if any? Thank you. Great, informative video!

I've seen birds and other critters eat the berries!

Does it sweet in taste..?
It's a little sweet, but mostly astringent. Also, it depends on local conditions. Some are sweeter than others.
@@fourseasonforaging great thanks...actually I am just searching this plant,but didn't get yet.
I'd like to know how wide one aronia can get. Just to make planting easier. People may not have the results
That would depend on the cultivar! You'll have to ask the nursery you get it from or research the particular cultivar online
Your awesome 👏
Thank you!

Thankyou I’ve not been able to see what one would like like in my garden
You're welcome! I hope you get to taste one soon! :)
Would you be able to send chikeberry seeds?
I cannot personally, but you can check local nurseries for seedlings!
I keep reading that heating the berries in water destroys many of the desired attributes. Go for cold press.
