FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is aronia?

Black aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) is a berry shrub in the rose family that produces small black fruits that form clusters. The shrub grows up to 2.5 m tall and is about 2 m in diameter. In European climates, flowering starts in mid-May. The average fruit set time is 90 days. Aronia fruit is mainly used for food and medicine. Juices, concentrates, jams, sweets, freeze-dried, teas, extracts, medicines, food supplements and cosmetics.

Who is aronia suitable for?

Thanks to its high antioxidant content, aronia helps protect the body from harmful free radicals and prevents heart disease, atherosclerosis and diabetes. The fibre content of aronia fruit contributes helps regulate metabolism. In addition, aronia has anti-inflammatory effects and strengthens the immune system.

Why aronia?

Eating properly and caring for our health is no longer a trend but a necessity. Consumers are looking for products with valuable nutritional and antioxidant properties. Therefore, the demand and consumption of aronia preserves is constantly increasing. It pays to invest in a steadily growing market that serves the health and beauty industry.

Is aronia difficult to grow?

The cultivation of aronia is not complicated. The plant is hardy and adapts easily to changing climatic conditions. However, it is worth remembering that in order to obtain a high-yield, fruit of the highest quality, it is necessary to use the right cultivation technique and proven planting material. Another advantage is the possibility of harvesting the fruit by machine, reducing labour and costs.

Is aronia disease resistant?

Aronia is a hardy shrub. So far, we have not observed enough pests or diseases to threaten the planting. At present, there are occasional cases of young shoots being attacked by aphids or leaf-eating caterpillars. No insecticides are used on organic plantations and as many years of observations have shown, nature naturally eradicates pests. The chokeberry is also wholly resistant to fungal diseases.

Will aronia grow in my country?

Aronia is native to the eastern regions of North America, where it is highly adaptable to a wide range of conditions in the wild. Today, aronia is grown in many latitudes. From hot Turkey to frosty Finland. We have now established cultivation potential in 36 countries. Interestingly, aronia fruit tastes different in every climate!
