After reading about how awful aronia tasted, I didn't know what to do with 
the aronia we got on our CSA share. Imagine my surprise to find it was 
delicious cooked in muffins or oatmeal. It had a nice dark cherry sort of 
flavor, when cooked and sweetened. Not that I'd know what to do with 30 
gallons of it. Try making jelly or something.

I want to plant some, but we're out of room inside the deer fence, alas.

I found it tasting awful on its own( even with sugar), but mixed with other 
things like peanut butter, it is very good

ORAC, Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is the method that is used
to measure the antioxidant capabilities of biological samples such as
fresh fruits and vegetables. The ORAC value recorded for Aronia is
about 58% higher in antioxidant levels than blueberries and over 90%
more than cranberries. There are two major types of ORAC tests, H-ORAC
and L-ORAC. Lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidant capacities differ
in the chemical makeup and how the breakdown time in our bodies
digestive system.

Proanthocyanidins have benefits that are directly related to
protection against Cardiovascular disease. Consumption of foods and
beverages with high amounts of PAs and phenolic compounds is
identified with the reduction of systolic blood pressure levels and a
reduction of the total levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. The
concentration of PAs in the aronia berry is among the highest reported
value of any food (Kelm, 613-617).

Anthocyanins are natural compounds that exhibit antioxidant activity
and anti-inflammatory attributes. Anthocyanin rich extracts have been
reported to inhibit growth of various cell lines. For instance, the
University of Maryland completed a research study that demonstrated
that the extract inhibited the cell growth of human colon cell lines.
Furthermore, it is attestable that it has accelerated anticancer and
antitumor activity.
