Stay at home and you will be satisfied ...

Admittedly, this little baroque-sounding slogan I know from my grandmother, but it occurred to me at once when I saw the juice for the first time - had and drank. The Arionia berry is indeed native to North America, but is also grown in Russia and Poland since the late 19th century. In Germany, it is now considered a "Saxon miracle" because they will be successfully cultivated there in the last few decades on a large scale (she loves the prevailing arid, calcareous soil; - similar species such as flour and wild service therefore also carry "Sorbus .. . "in the name of).

The Aronia bush and its fruits are resistant and less susceptible to plant diseases. This can be attributed to the high content of flavonoids, which are mainly deposited in the pericarp. In addition, the berry contains significant amounts of folic acid, vitamins K and C and anthocyanins (red color). These anti-oxidants protect not only the plant, but also the people against oxidative stress, which we are constantly delivered by harmful environmental influences. Oxidative stress can lead to cellular changes and ultimately to cancer or its precursors.

In my view this mode of action is now designated medical and laboratory scale confirmed. The juice is therefore primarily to be regarded as "medicine" that can usefully einnimt as a dietary supplement to support the body's defense mechanisms. Who the slightly bitter taste do not like, which I will set them with a saying from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which states namely mutatis mutandis, "medicine has bitter taste, otherwise it is not." We know this by now, that this is precisely the high content lies in flavonoids and other antioxidants (in red wine are also available, where they are more or less covered by the residual sugar and the alcohol -. And unfortunately compensated in their effect Red grape juice contains Unfortunately, far too much harmful sugar, so that he as a supplier of anti-oxidants unfortunately omitted).

For me, the aronia cultivation is a blessing in eastern Germany. I can stay that way "in the land" and buy a local organic product that has been proven beneficial to health. I am not dependent on sugared berry products from overseas (Goji, Acai, Maqui and the rest of them) or just sweet, often even sulfurized Cranberries from California, etc.

Incidentally, you can drink the juice excellent when in a glass of oatmeal ("delicate flowers" or Schmelzflocken) him into stirred and allowed to swell 5 minutes. Please drink slowly and chew even by something as mixing with the digestive enzymes in the saliva helps optimally digest the carbohydrates. For athletes and for people who lose weight as ideal in-between snack, since no hunger arises due to lack of sugar!
