Aronia beats Blueberry

I keep watching the berries and hoping for warmer weather!  I guess it’s Spring Fever.

As we’re watching and waiting for the weather to improve, we’re studying and looking further into the health benefits of our little purple berries.  I recently located another excellent article about these little gems.  I was amazed at this report showing blueberries having about a third the ORAC value of the aronia berries!  I knew they were high on the anti-oxidant scale, but this is just reassuring.  Oh the benefits, I can’t wait for our first crop.
