A study that appeared in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food
Chemistry" tested the antioxidant content in over 100 foods and ranked
the antioxident content per serving size. The problem, they noted, is
that it is extremely difficult to actually measure antioxident levels.
The study showed that Cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries were
ranked highest among fruits. Here are the top 20 foods, the serving
size and antioxident content per serving.
1 Small Red Bean (dried) Half cup 13727
2 Wild blueberry 1 cup 13427

4 Pinto bean Half cup 11864

There were several other factors, the study noted, that determined the
AO content such as raw vs cooked.
Yet another study, this one in "Journal of Nutrition" ranked the top
antioxidant fruits:
Pomegranate
