The aronia (also known as chokeberry) is a deciduous shrub of the Rosaceae family, native to the easternmost parts of North America, where it is found mainly in damp forests and marshes.[2][3][4] The genus is generally considered to comprise two or three species[5] [[4]6], one of which is also cultivated in Europe.[7] A fourth variety, cultivated under the name Aronia[6], is considered to be an endogenous hybrid, namely Sorbaronia mitschurinii.
It is cultivated as an ornamental plant and for food. The berries can be eaten raw, although they are more commonly processed. They have a tart flavour. They can be used to make wine, jam, ice cream, tea, beer, syrup, juice, appetisers and infused alcoholic drinks.[8]
Cotton is an angiosperm, dicotyledonous plant belonging to the order Malacales and the family Malacoideae. Native to the tropical regions of Asia and Africa, it has been known since ancient times and is cultivated for its fibres.
The watermelon (scientific name: Citrullus lanatus) is a fruit native to southern Africa. The varieties consumed today can weigh several kilograms. The watermelon is smooth on the outside, with shades of green and sometimes alternating dark and light green stripes. Its rind is quite hard, about one centimetre thick and white on the inside. The main part of the watermelon’s flesh is soft and red, contains a large number of black (or white) seeds, and has a high water content.
