Elderberry highest in antioxidants?
I blogged about a study that showed that Elderberry could be as useful as Tamiflu in fighting H1N1 virus and other flu viruses. I just stumbled upon a table showing that the elderberry has almost the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of any berry.
ORAC scores are for 100/grams (3.5 ounces).
- Aronia (15.8K ORAC)
- Elderberry (14.6K ORAC)
- Cranberries (9.5K ORAC)
- Black Currant (8K ORAC)
- Blueberries (6K ORAC)
- Blackberries (6K ORAC)
- Plums (6K ORAC)
- Glass of Cabernet Sauvignon (5K ORAC)
- Glass of red table wine or Chianti (3.8K ORAC)
- Red grape Juice (1.2K ORAC)
