Top 10 ORAC Value Antioxidant-Rich Foods

The antioxidant values of foods listed are expressed in ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) units, a unit of measurement for antioxidants developed by the National Institutes of Health in Baltimore.

It is widely believed that high antioxidant foods help greatly to lower the risks of cancer, degeneration, and disease.
