When I was little, I wanted to be Queen of the Fairies. I’m still waiting for that to happen, but this summer I feel like Queen of the Berries!
All summer long I’ve been so lucky to have had SO many sweet Raspberries, Blackberries and Cherries.
Right now I’m visiting the magnificent Pacific Northwest, enjoying the majestic Forests and all the beautiful Wildlife.
And also making my family giant Salads and Green Smoothies with Dandelions and other fresh nutritious wild greens.
I love to visit this time of year because the Blackberries & Huckleberries are ripe!
So I was absolutely thrilled & delighted to find FRESH local organic Aronia Berries from Guemes Island at the health food store.
I’ve never seen them or tasted them before! Aronia Berries are reputed to be one of the MOST AMAZING Super foods EVER!!
Also known as Chokeberries, Aronia berries are CHOCK FULL of antioxidants,vitamin C and anthocyanins.
They’re said to have impressive cancer fighting & ANTI AGING nutrients as well as be good for your heart.
They can prevent diabetes and lower chloresterol.
Plus help protect your SKIN from UV radiation.
Aronia Berries have more antioxidant activity than Blueberries, Cherries, Pomegranates, Goji Berries or Mangosteen!!
Aronia Berries may be the absolute BEST FOOD to fight Colon Cancer.
The check out girl made me nervous because she said they were really astringent and bitter. Yikes!!
I got brave at midnight last night and tried one. They were better than I thought they’d be! In my opinion they are astringent and tart but somewhat sweet too.
I couldn’t stop eating them! I was SO excited to be eating fresh Aronia Berries I couldn’t go to bed!
They’re an incredible black purple color. Great for a lovely natural lip stain! 🙂
Like a lipstick you’d wear if you were a fairy, to go with your dress made of Fairy Dust and Dewdrops!
I’m totally hooked on the Super Food Power of Aronia Berries now, their nutrition and tart sweet taste.
I’m going to start ordering them frozen and hopefully be able to add them to smoothies all year long!
