Which natural substances are found in chokeberries? — DRIED BLACK ARONIA BERRIES 100G - TEAVIT (BLACK ARONIA) ( aronija chernoplodnaja )

Aronia berries naturally contain plant substances characteristic of rich dark berries:

• Anthocyanins: natural pigments of the dark skin, which give the berries an almost black colour. They have antioxidant properties and are valued in nutrition as plant compounds.
• Polyphenols: a broad group of plant compounds typical of berries with an intense colour and an astringent taste.
• Other natural substances: a natural part of the whole berry material, which is retained because the berries are used whole.

To put it simply, antioxidants help protect cells against oxidative stress, a process that increases with unbalanced nutrition, lack of sleep, a fast pace of life and exposure to the environment. It is important to understand that all these substances are present in the berries naturally: nothing additional is added to the product, and antioxidants by themselves do not replace a varied and balanced diet.
