Organic aronia berry powder from EU cultivation

The aronia berry is hardly edible in its raw state. Its high tannin content makes it so tart that it is almost never eaten fresh. The organic Aronia capsules from Vitalplant contain the ground fruit powder with no other ingredients.

What makes the berry special

The color comes from anthocyanins. Aronia berries are among the darkest fruits of all. Responsible for this are anthocyanins, water-soluble plant pigments from the flavonoid group, which also give elderberry, blueberry, and red cabbage their color.

Tannins shape the flavor. The tart, astringent note comes from tannins. They are the reason aronia is traditionally processed into juice, liqueur, or jam instead of being eaten fresh.

500 mg of fruit powder per capsule. Ground whole berry, not concentrated. The raw material is certified according to the EU organic regulation, control body number DE-ÖKO-039, origin EU agriculture.

Aronia melanocarpa: shrub and cultivation

The black chokeberry originally comes from eastern North America. It belongs to the rose family and is therefore related to apples and pears, which is also reflected in the German name.

The plant came to Europe in the 19th century. It is extremely frost-hardy and has low soil requirements, which is why it has become established as a cultivated plant in Eastern Europe and now also in Germany. It is harvested in late summer.

Organic Aronia capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of two components: organic aronia berry powder and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorings. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Behind Vitalplant is Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at the Stern Pharmacy.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, do not freeze, and protect from direct sunlight.

Three Varieties and One Cultivar

The Aronia genus is small. Besides black chokeberry, there is downy chokeberry with red fruit and plum-leaved chokeberry, which sits between the two.

However, by far the largest share of European plantation produce goes back to a cultivar developed by Russian plant breeder Ivan Michurin at the beginning of the 20th century, in which rowan was probably also crossed in. From there, the plant made its way through Eastern Europe. Botanically, this cultivated form is sometimes classified as its own species.

Why it makes your mouth pucker

The fuzzy sensation when tasting is not flavor in the strict sense, but a tactile sensation. Tannins bind to the proteins in saliva, causing it to lose its lubricating properties, and the lining of the mouth feels rough.

Chemically, these tannins belong to the proanthocyanidins, the same group known from grape seeds as OPC. Frost, storage, and processing soften the astringency, which is why Aronia tastes more approachable as juice or jam than fresh from the bush.

Colorants that react to pH

Anthocyanins change color depending on the acidity of their surroundings: red in acidic conditions, violet in neutral conditions, bluish to greenish in alkaline conditions. Anyone who has ever cooked red cabbage with a splash of vinegar has observed the effect, because the same type of pigment is at work there.

Aronia berries are among the fruits richest in anthocyanins, and you notice that when handling the powder: it reliably stains fingers, fabrics, and work surfaces. A good reason for the capsule.

From berry to powder

Harvesting is done mechanically in late summer, when the berries are deep black and dark red inside. They are then washed and gently dried, after which they are ground up with the skins and seeds.

Fresh aronia berries are made up of around three quarters water. When dried, roughly one quarter of the fresh weight remains, which means that a capsule with 500 mg of powder represents about two grams of fresh berries. Nothing is concentrated in the process: it is the whole fruit, just without water.

Our Aronia capsules are manufactured to the highest quality standards and independently tested for heavy metals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Take 2 capsules daily with plenty of liquid, together with a meal. This corresponds to 1,000 mg of organic aronia berry powder per day. You can take both together or split them between two meals.

Aronia melanocarpa, auf Deutsch Schwarze Apfelbeere, ist ein Strauch aus der Familie der Rosengewächse und damit mit Apfel, Birne und Hagebutte verwandt. Ursprünglich stammt sie aus dem östlichen Nordamerika. Nach Europa kam sie über Russland, wo sie im 20. Jahrhundert züchterisch bearbeitet wurde; heute wird sie vor allem in Polen und Ostdeutschland angebaut.

Because of their high tannin content. Eaten raw, the berry makes your mouth pucker, an effect known from unripe blackthorn berries. That is exactly why it is almost never eaten fresh, but instead processed into juice, dried fruit, or powder. In capsule form, taste does not matter.

From anthocyanins, the blue-violet plant pigments that also give blueberries, elderberries, and red cabbage their color. Aronia is one of the most pigment-rich fruits grown locally, which is why its juice was once also used as a natural dye. The powder is correspondingly dark.

Pure fruit powder, no extract: 500 mg ground aronia berry per capsule. That is why there is no extract ratio here. If you are looking for the whole fruit rather than a concentrate, this is the right choice; if you want to buy a product standardized to a specific ingredient, you should look for the corresponding information.

Yes, from controlled organic cultivation in accordance with the EU Organic Regulation, inspection body number DE-ÖKO-039, with the origin designation EU agriculture. This is not a given with us: many organic raw materials in the range come from outside the EU, whereas aronia grows in Europe.

Yes. The ingredients list has two items: organic aronia berry powder and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No anti-caking agents, no flow agents, no colorants, because the berry itself provides the color.

The jar contains 90 capsules and lasts 45 days at two capsules per day. It is bottled in amber glass. That matters especially here, because anthocyanins are light-sensitive and lose their color under UV exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
