Note: The ORAC table is not the be-all and end-all of measuring antioxidant capacity. There are thousands of phytonutrients that scientists have not yet been able to identify or isolate, and therefore can't even be measured. This means that there is no way to completely assess the full nutritional and antioxidant benefit of any given fruit or vegetable using the ORAC chart. However, it is the best available tool at the moment to measure antioxidants.
