Aronia is a small, but very powerful, purple fruit. This little berry has a unique, palate-wrinkling flavor that is reminiscent of the tartness of summer grapes.

Dried Aronia berries are found in many organic stores and you can combine them with cakes, muesli, or cookies.
In many different countries around the world, dried Aronia berries are used to prepare herbal teas rich in antioxidants.
