The fruits are commonly used to make jams, jellies, syrups, and even wine. Chokeberry tea is also becoming increasingly popular due to its health benefits. The high level of antioxidants found in chokeberries makes them a great addition to any diet as they help to protect against free radicals in the body. Additionally, chokeberries are known to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help lower blood pressure. The fruits are also dried and used for making pemmican, a traditional Native American food consisting of a mixture of dried meat, animal fat, and berries. Overall, the Aronia melanocarpa black chokeberry is a versatile shrub that has a lot to offer in terms of both aesthetics and health benefits.
