FAQs about chokecherries

The fruit of chokecherries is not toxic at any stage in its growth. However, the seeds are toxic. They contain a cyanide compound that can be toxic when consumed raw in large quantities. This cyanide compound is similar to the cyanide compound found in apple seeds. Eating a few chokecherry seeds won't harm you, but you want to avoid eating the seeds whenever possible.

This fruit is toxic to horses, goats, deer, moose, cattle, and other animals who have segmented stomachs. However, raccoons and birds can safely eat and enjoy chokecherries.

Some consider chokecherries to be a superfood. Indigenous people have used chokecherries as medicine for centuries. The berry is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins. It's also high in quinic acid, which is used to prevent urinary tract infections. These contents are known to improve circulation, prevent the risk of heart disease, protect the body against diabetes, reduce high blood pressure, and fight against allergies, viruses, and cancer.

Chokecherries are also naturally low in sugar, unlike many other fruits, making them an ideal alternative for those trying to reduce the amount of sugar in their diet without cutting back on fruit.
