Wholesale Organic Dried Aronia Berries - 150 g

Native to North America and cultivated in Eastern Europe, Aronia is a small black berry rich in powerful antioxidants belonging to the polyphenols (anthocyanins, flavonoids and OPCs), growing on shrubs that can reach 3 m in height. Its anthocyanin content far exceeds that of blueberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, cherries and other pigment-rich fruits... Aronia is a true treasure of antioxidants and substances beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Moreover, Aronia is an extremely hardy shrub and requires no chemical treatment. While Chinese goji, Amazonian açaí and Patagonian maqui hold the top positions in nutritional value, an almost unknown berry is propelled into the lead of the "superfruits" pack: Aronia (Aronia Melaocarpa). It is the dark color of Aronia that attracted the attention of the scientific community. Indeed, highly pigmented fruits are rich in antioxidants known as anthocyanins. These pigments are among the most powerful antioxidants and also possess anti-inflammatory properties. That is just one aspect of Aronia's virtues. Upon further investigation, scientists found multiple substances, including: caffeic acid (protects cells by preventing oxidation of the cell membrane); delphinidin and malvidin, anthocyanins known as powerful antioxidants; epicatechin, a flavonoid beneficial to the cardiovascular system. The presence of these molecules in Aronia is decisive for scientists, therapists and nutritionists. In the small coveted world of "superfruits", antioxidant action is decisive in assessing the real value of one berry compared to another. Aronia has a higher antioxidant action than cranberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, pomegranate, goji and mangosteen.
