Aronia – properties and uses

Aronia and its products are a powerful weapon in the fight against diseases of civilization, such as atherosclerosis and cancer. Aronia fruits are rich in bioactive plant compounds and vitamins that have a beneficial effect on health. What are the properties of aronia? Can aronia be used in children? How and for what is its juice used?

Black chokeberry (Latin: Aronia melanocarpa) is a shrub from North America that has adapted very well to our climate. Chokeberry plants feel so good in Poland that our country has become a leader in the cultivation of these shrubs, and the raw material obtained from them is of high quality and is widely used in cosmetics and pharmacy, primarily for the production of anti-aging supplements and cosmetics that strengthen eyesight and immunity.

The dark blue chokeberry fruit is harvested in early autumn. It can be eaten raw, although not everyone likes its taste. The fruit is most often processed into juice, jams and tinctures. If we do not have access to fresh chokeberry fruit or its preserves, it is worth reaching for dietary supplements containing extract from these fruits.

Aronia – properties

Chokeberry is valued primarily for its wealth of active compounds with antioxidant properties. Among the bioflavonoids contained in chokeberry, the most valuable are anthocyanins, flavonoids (including quercetin and rutin), catechins and leucocyanins. They perform many functions, e.g. as dyes that give the fruit a deep navy blue color. However, in medicine, another role of bioflavonoids is more important – these are substances that actively fight free radicals in the body. Chokeberry is also a wealth of vitamins, such as: B2, B3, B9 (folic acid), C and E. All of these substances have strong antioxidant properties that protect cells from oxidative stress and support the body’s natural defenses against the harmful effects of free radicals. By acting in this way, they delay the aging process and stimulate repair processes in cells.

In addition to bioflavonoids, chokeberry fruit is a rich source of vitamins (A, E, C, K and B group) and valuable micro-​ and macroelements, including calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and zinc. These ingredients support many processes in the body, stimulate immunity and support proper vision, also in children.

chokeberry capsules also contain substances that have a beneficial effect on the condition of blood vessels. Rutin and anthocyanins make blood vessels more elastic, strengthen them, seal them and regulate their permeability. Chokeberry juice not only helps to lower blood pressure, but also has a beneficial effect on the capillaries of the eye. For this reason, chokeberry is recommended for use in the prevention of eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma or AMD (age-​related macular degeneration), i.e. in macular degeneration.

Chokeberry Fruits – Use

Raw chokeberries are not to everyone’s taste, but there are many ways to process them. Dried chokeberries are very popular and are great as an ingredient in herbal or fruit teas. The fruits are processed into jams, meat preserves, jellies, tinctures or – most often – juice. Chokeberry extract is also used as an ingredient in dietary supplements that support the body’s natural strength and immunity, proper vision and repair processes in cells.
