About Aronia berries
Aronia berries, commonly called chokeberries, are small, dark purple to nearly black fruits from shrubs in the aronia group. Their skin is glossy and the flesh is juicy, but the flavour is notably tart and astringent when fresh, rather than simply sweet.
They are used fresh or cooked, and are commonly made into juice, preserves, syrups, sauces, and dried fruit. Frozen berries and processed aronia products also occur; sweetness and texture vary with ripeness and preparation. The name refers to the berries, not to a particular juice or sweetened product.
