    Aroniaberry Love & 6 Recipes: Cookies, Bars, Pie & More. A beautiful aroniaberry pie, fresh out of the oven.

    We had four young visitors from the UK and the East Coast just recently who raved that this was the best pie they’d ever had. And, of course, we were thrilled! Since we are really just learning how to add aronias to our diet, their confirmation spurred us on to continue collecting more aroniaberry recipes. (Pie recipe below).

    I know many of you have the heart of a homesteader and love looking for ways to build your medicine chest, reduce your food bills, increase sustainability, and live healthier off the land. Like the amazing elderberry, the aronia could be a small part towards that goal.

    It is very satisfying to learn of new ways to lessen our dependency on others for food and health care.

    So please allow me to tell you why we are so excited about growing aronias, and I will share some aronia berry recipes in a minute.

    One Super Healthy Berry!

    I want to rave a bit about the superfood Aroniaberry, an amazing edible berry given to us by God for our health and vitality. It’s ‘off the charts’ EXCELLENT for those interested in slowing down the aging process (that would be me and, maybe, you) and so many other health benefits.

    “The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” ~ Thomas A Edison

    Aroniaberry Love & 6 Recipes: Cookies, Bars, Pie & More, new recipes, learning about aronias, new super-fruit, aronia/cherry syrup, aronia bars, gluten-free oatmeal bread, classic aronia berry pie, Genesis 1:29, USDA data chart, no pests, smoothie recipe, aronia oatmeal cookie recipe, homesteading, DIY medicine chest, herbal remedies, sustainable living, preparedness, lessen dependency on health care system, growing aronia berry bushes, chokeberry, Viking, anti-aging, health benefits, Thomas Edison, quote, prevention of disease, reverse Alzheimer's, ORAC values, combat free radicals, polyphenolic antioxidants, gardening, exotic fruit, astringent flavor, little boy picking berries, eating berries off a bush, aronia melanocarpa

    The Aroniaberry contains a powerful natural blend of polyphenolic antioxidants. Antioxidants are important because they combat free radicals in our body that are created from daily living, stress, environmental pollution, medical x-rays and even exercise. Free radicals can damage cells which can lead to health problems. Consuming foods high in antioxidants like the Aroniaberry may help support the body’s defense against these radicals. Many studies show they are powerful in Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

    Antioxidant levels in foods are measured by a test called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity).  Scientists have found that antioxidants increase our bodies natural defense systems. The higher the ORAC, the higher the antioxidant activity.

    The many benefits of the aronia as a food-bearing plant are:

    • that you can grow it in your yard

    • that it is easy to pick

    • that you need only one plant because it is self-fertile

    • that is has reliably no pests

    • they are very tart, but delicious when sweetened

    • they become naturally sweeter after freezing

    • it is a homesteaders dream for a reliable harvest

    • berries stay separate in freezer bag if drained when bagged

    •Aronia berries can stand alone or blend compatibly with apples, red raspberries, peaches, strawberries, cherries, pears and oranges

    We grow Viking chokeberry/aka aronia.

    And last, but not least, there are many delicious recipes (my adaptations) to use them in. I found several of them at Bellbrook Berry Farm.

    1.) Super Antioxidant Aronia Smoothie:

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
