Etymology

The word aronia comes from the plant's scientific name used by plant scientists, and it refers to the small dark berry the plant makes. A helpful memory is that aronia is also called 'chokeberry' because the raw berries can taste dry and sharp, so the name makes you think of the tiny, healthy berries used in juice and jam.
