“Grapes contain B vitamins (except B12) and vitamin C. They are an important source of polyphenols, which are the most widely used antioxidants in our diet. They contain a lot of flavonoids, gallic acid and anthocyanins. Flavonoids prevent the oxidation of (bad) LDL cholesterol. They have a bacteriostatic effect and lower the concentration of total cholesterol in the blood. They inhibit the development of atherosclerosis and the growth of staphylococci. They help prevent DNA damage and tooth decay and gum disease. Grapes contain potassium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, calcium and magnesium. Potassium is important for muscles, the digestive tract and the regulation of excess sodium, phosphorus for nerves and brain, manganese for bones and thyroid, iron for blood, calcium for teeth and bones and magnesium for the heart and muscles.”

Because grapes contain a lot of fruit sugar, which keeps blood sugar in balance, we do not have attacks of wolf hunger. Its ballast substances accelerate digestion.

Aronia – A Masterpiece of Nature

Aronia is a medicinal plant – its fruit is considered food, not a pharmaceutical. Aronia berries are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex (including B2, B6, B9), as well as vitamin P, bioflavonoids, flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanins, folic acid, and essential minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron, molybdenum, manganese, iodine, and phosphorus.

It is exceptionally rich in antioxidants. Aronia helps slow down the aging process, boosts energy levels, and protects against the harmful effects of free radicals.

A wide range of health-promoting properties is attributed to aronia, including:

–  a rich source of antioxidants,
–  stimulation and enhancement of memory and concentration,
–  protection against the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease,
–  support in alleviating atherosclerosis,
–  relief of headaches and migraines,
–  boosting overall immunity and supporting defense against viruses and bacteria,
–  regulation of blood sugar levels,
–  stimulation and balancing of thyroid function, alleviation of goiter,
–  regulation of liver function and gastric acid secretion,
–  alleviation of gallbladder inflammation,
–  potential anti-cancer properties,
–  support for vision and prevention of cataract development,
–  assistance in detoxifying and cleansing the body,
–  and because it revitalizes, refreshes, slows aging, and improves skin appearance (enhancing elasticity, reducing dark spots, and broken capillaries), it is widely used in the cosmetics industry.

Given its numerous health benefits, aronia should be incorporated more regularly into our diets.

At the Glavinič farm, we offer you homemade, organically produced aronia juice. We press the aronia in a certified organic processing plant. We do not pick the aronia as soon as it ripens. We leave it on the bushes for a while longer, which is why our aronia is sweeter than others.
