What is the Aronia Plant?
Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa), one of the most powerful healing sources offered by nature, is a shrub-shaped plant that produces small and dark purple fruits, also known as “super fruit” among the public. Aronia, whose homeland is North America, has attracted great attention in Europe and in recent years in Turkey due to its strong antioxidant content. Since the unique climate and soil structure of Cappadocia are quite suitable for the aronia plant, high-quality and healthy aronia fruits are grown in our region.
