Hi, richard,  Have to say here that I routinely eat aronia raw, straight from 
the bush.  Typically I browse while working in the garden.  Maybe its me or 
maybe its my aronia, but the mouth does definitely not slam shut, not for 5 
minutes and not for a week.  The secret is to gently crush the berry to 
release the interior juice while not chewing the skin.

John
