Foods High In Antioxidants - Antioxidant ORAC Scale - Antioxidant Rich Foods

The USDA has developed a rating scale that measures the antioxidant content of various plant foods. The scale is called ORAC, which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. They discovered that a small group of "super foods" have up to twenty times the antioxidant power of other foods. It is recommended that we eat foods containing at least 3,000 ORAC units a day.
