USDA's Top 20 List of Antioxidant Foods

The Human Nutrition Research Center, using the most advanced technologies available, measured the antioxidant levels of more than 100 different types of fruits, vegetables, berries, nuts, and spices. Antioxidants trap rogue molecules, called "free radicals." Everyone has free radicals. Unchecked, "free radicals" can lead to cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Ranked from highest (1) amount of antioxidants to the lowest (20):
  1. Small red beans (dried)
  2. Wild blueberries
  3. Red kidney beans
  4. Pinto beans
  5. Blueberries (cultivated)
  6. Cranberries
  7. Artichokes (cooked)
  8. Blackberries
  9. Prunes
  10. Raspberries
  11. Strawberries
  12. Red delicious apples
  13. Granny Smith apples
  14. Pecans
  15. Sweet cherries
  16. Black plums
  17. Russet potatoes (cooked)
  18. Black beans (dried)
  19. Plums
  20. Gala apples
