BLACKBERRIES. They are even more than superfoods like red wine, dark chocolate and red cabbage. This type of berries have the most antioxidants per serving.
STRAWBERRIES. A cup contains 144 percent of the daily value of vitamin C. That's 24 percent more than an 8 oz. glass of orange juice.
PLUMS. According to experts, some varieties of this fruit may have just as much antioxidants as a half cup of blueberries. Grab a plum for a snack and make sure you eat the skin. The bulk of disease-fighting phytonutrients are on the plum's skin.
BLUEBERRIES. A new study suggests the blue gems may help keep high blood pressure in check. Consuming blueberries daily for 6 weeks can help lower your blood pressure.
