Aronia Berry Powder: Antioxidant-Dense Superfood, Immune Support

Great taste, mixes well in water

This berry powder blends well in smoothies or just plain in my ice water- does not leave that grainy residue. I’ve been adding it to my morning smoothies or waters whenever I feel a little under the weather or just need to boost nutrients

I love it, but it doesn't dissolve as well as I hoped it would without heating water first

This powder dissolves nicely in water and has a nice, tart flavor. It's definitely not fruit juice, so don't get it and think it's going to be sweet and yummy. It's very tart, but not so bad that you can't drink it. The flavor is not unpleasant. I've also used it in my sourdough baking. I would not recommend using it to dust the top of the loaf, like rice flour, in hopes of giving it a nice color for scoring. Instead, add it to the dough and get a nice color that way. Dusting it lends to burning the crust. I definitely recommend this powder.

I used to buy Aronia berry juice in bottles, and I loved it, but then it became unavailable. For several years, I had to go without. Then I ran across this Aronia powder, and decided to try it. It is inexpensive, and it really tastes good! My preference is for tart tates. Aronia has a more tart taste than, say, red cherries. Red cherries get their flavor from...being sweet. In other words, from fructose. Aronia, on the other hand, gets its flavor from...being berries! It has this wonderful rich taste that cannot be simply classified as sweet. It is a multi-faceted flavor with a wonderful bouquet. I could smell this when I first opened the package. Although my memory of the taste of juice out of the bottle is somewhat hazy, I think this powder dissolved in water actually tastes better, more fresh, like the berries are fresh squeezed. And I can make the flavor stronger by using more powder for the water I add. Aronia berries are known for their high ORAC value. This figure tells us how strong an anti-oxidant something is. Aronia berries are among the best. Blueberries, which are highly promoted for their anti-oxidant properties, have an ORAC value of 9621, while Aronia berries have an ORAC value of 16,062. Only Acai berries are higher at 102,700. So if you are looking for a good anti-oxidant, Aronia berries are a good choice. After all, you can also drink Acai juice, and there's no reason not to enjoy both! The only problem I had is that the package is supposed to be re-sealable, but I couldn't get the seal to engage. Keeping the package in a plastic bag is a good temporary fix, but I hope the seller will look into the problem.

This listing says no fillers or anti-clumping agents, but it contains an unspecified amount of maltodextrin per the ingredients. It’s a product that is so concentrated it has turned powder, it should have a very intense flavor, but It doesn’t even taste like chokecherry. if you try to return it using the usual pathway from your orders, you will just get a message that says it’s not returnable, but this was listed as a Prime item, if you get in touch with Amazon customer service they will give your money back.

Aronia berries ( choke-cherries) are packed with nutrients and phytochemicals. It's a tart addition to my herbal teas. It dissolves quickly and adds beautiful color and health benefits. Grateful for this product.

Great will order again. Don’t know why they came in separate packages this definitely helps lower my blood pressure.
