definition of astringent

I don't recommend eating Aronias. One Green World says they are great for a tasty snack. "Tasty" it turns out, is a very subjective word. The only way you would enjoy snacking on these little bird-berries is if you like all the life sucked out of your tongue. Your tongue will remain dry until you help it out with some other soothing beverage. Something that will return the saliva from its hiding place.
