"Aronia melanocarpa (black chokeberry) has attracted scientific interest due to its deep purple, almost black pigmentation that arises from dense contents of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins. Total polyphenol content is 1752 mg per 100 g in fresh berries, anthocyanin content is 1480 mg per 100 g, and proanthocyanidin concentration is 664 mg per 100 g. These values are among the highest measured in plants to date."
Aronia grows here. It is highly astringent so hard to drink. Note that in the article above they provide a picture of Pokeberry which they mis-identify as Aronia (Chokeberry)
