Chokeberry is a small shrub that belongs to the rose family. It is native to North America and is known for its tart and juicy berries that are rich in antioxidants. While chokeberry is the most commonly used name for this bush, it also goes by a few other synonyms. These include aronia, black chokeberry, and wild cherry. Additionally, it is often confused with the similar-looking chokecherry, which grows in the same regions. However, chokeberries have a much more sour taste compared to chokecherries. Chokeberries are incredibly versatile and can be used in jams, jellies, and baked goods, or simply eaten raw.
