Aronia berries: Sustainable health-enhancers

Aronia berries are small dark fruits that are becoming increasingly popular amongst health-conscious consumers as they have excellent content in micronutrients and strong antioxidant properties. Moreover, they have many health benefits.

Apart from providing numerous health benefits, Aronia berries are also interesting from an environmental perspective, thanks to some unique characteristics of this plant.

This is particularly true for the variety called Nero Eggert, selected by BioActor to produce the active ingredient for brain health, namely Brainberry®.

Join us, while we dive into the reasons why Aronia berries are considered superfruit and why the Nero Eggert variety is especially great.

We visited Mr. Eggert, who spent more than 30 years on creating the Nero Eggert variety. Watch the video below:

Aronia Berries: Reason they are excellent for health and sustainability reasons

1. Full of nutrients and anthocyanins:

Aronia berries are more than just berries – they’re nutritional powerhouses. Packed with vital vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers, these berries contribute significantly to your overall well-being. However, their true power lies in their antioxidant content, particularly the anthocyanins. These antioxidants play a pivotal role in combating oxidative stress and supporting cellular health.

2. Multifaceted health benefits:

Aronia berries have diverse health benefits. From bolstering cardiovascular health to enhancing cognitive function, these berries offer a holistic approach to health.

3. Embracing sustainability:

What truly sets Aronia berries apart is their minimal impact on the environment. Unlike resource-intensive crops, Aronia plants thrive on modest water consumption and natural pest resistance, making them a responsible and sustainable choice for environmentally-conscious consumers.

Nero Eggert variety: What sets it apart from other Aronia berries?

1. Sustainable harvesting methods:

Meet the Nero Eggert Aronia variety – a game-changer in sustainable agriculture. With unique low-reaching branches, this breed helps with harvesting practices. Not only does it yield more fruit per land area, but it also provides reduced land usage, striking a balance between productivity and ecological responsibility.

2. Flourishing amidst harsh climates:

Witness nature’s resilience through the Nero Eggert variety. Flourishing even in freezing temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius, these berries naturally rejuvenate during harsh winters, eliminating the need for chemical interventions. This adaptation showcases the variety’s capacity to coexist harmoniously with the environment.

3. Abundant in anthocyanins:

The Nero Eggert variety’s high anthocyanin content is a testament to its ability to thrive under stress. The challenging climate it thrives in stimulates the production of these antioxidants, making every berry a valuable source of natural health support.

4. Bee-friendly:

Beyond its health and sustainability attributes, the Nero Eggert Aronia berry plays a vital role in the ecosystem. Its extended flowering period provides nourishment for bees during their lifecycle, promoting biodiversity and exemplifying the variety’s contribution to preserving nature’s balance.

Nero Eggert Aronia Berries: A blend of health and sustainability

The Nero Eggert Aronia berry seamlessly intertwines health benefits and sustainable practices. For this reason, we have chosen this unique fruit as the base for our Brainberry® extract, which has been clinically validated to boost your cognitive performance.
