Talk:Aronia

Herbal tea
Isn't it also used as an ingredient in some commercially available herbal teas? Badagnani 18:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Definitely used by Eastern Europeans as a Vodka infusion as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.47.46 (talk) 01:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Also, according to the back of my Asda high juice bottle, it has 11% aronia juice. 82.69.80.47 (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Becoming more widespread as Ponceau 4R is being phased out. A quite useful underutilized crop - healthy, easily grown and yields a nice deep-red color. I suspect we're gonna see it more widely used in the near future. In Germany, one can find it explicitly advertised as an ingredient of fruit drinks etc since 2008 or so, though it is still very rarely seen. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 19:42, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Definitively grows wild in Poland (it is also cultivated). And we use it in juices and teas for very long time. Some consume it raw (although not many can stand the taste of raw aronia). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.235.77.234 (talk) 21:32, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

2 or 3?
The lead says there are two species but three are listed in the taxobox. Which is it? Huw Powell (talk) 22:05, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I've changed it to 2-3 (the details are further down the page). Kingdon (talk) 02:12, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Where it grows
The article implies it grows in North America, however it also grows widely in Finland and over the border into Russia. This article needs to be expanded to clarify where it is found growing in the wild and where it is cultivated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.252.236 (talk) 11:41, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 17:56, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Aronia berry versus chokeberry
Increasingly, the black chokeberry (aronia melanocarpa) is referred to as an aronia berry and that's how it's marketed when sold as a food product or dietary supplement due to its high antioxidant properties (which were discovered in 2004).

Should there be a separate page just for these aronia berries? If not, how can we make this page clearer? Ketinker (talk) 03:49, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. In general, every species is given its own page, so Aronia melanocarpa would be that page, changed from the redirect that it now is. The reason it doesn't exist is probably due to some confusion about whether there are two or three species in the genus, but there is plenty of information about that species for making a page.
