1. Beans

Red beans, kidney beans, pinto beans: all of these are foods with antioxidants; in fact, they have more antioxidants per serving than any other food! Surprised? I sure was! Now I'm adding beans to my soups and salads... they're tasty!

2. Blueberries

For some reason, wild blueberries actually contain slightly more antioxidants than farm-grown versions, but all in all, the humble little blueberry ranks highest in antioxidants than any other fruit or berry. Add them to yoghurt or your high-fiber cereal in the morning to get the most out of this tasty little food with antioxidants!

3. Cranberries

I drink cranberry juice to keep urinary tract infections at bay and to give me a boost of Vitamin C, but I had no idea how rich they were in antioxidants until now! This is just one more reason to enjoy the sweet-tart punch of cranberries.

4. Artichokes

Okie dokie artichokie! Not only are artichokes front and center in one of my favorite goofy expressions, they're also one of the tastiest foods with antioxidants! A little steam, a little butter, and you've got a gorgeous, delicious, antioxidant-rich side dish!

5. Blackberries

Blackberries are also a food with antioxidants, one of my favorite summer treats. They're sweet, juicy, and make great toppings for yoghurt or ice cream... yum!

6. Prunes

I know what you're thinking: eww, prunes! But they've changed over the years and are now one of my favorite treats! Still not happy with the consistency or taste? Regular fresh black plums are another food with antioxidants.

7. Raspberries

These tiny berries are loaded with antioxidants, and they're actually really easy to grow. Maybe it's time to start thinking about adding a few to your summer garden..

8. Strawberries

Wow, another berry! Just what this list needed! If you're having a hard time finding some of these other foods with antioxidants, you've finally caught a break. You can find strawberries almost anywhere, all year long, imported from more southern climes.

9. Apples

Apples are another versatile food with antioxidants, especially the popular Granny Smith and Red Delicious varieties. You can eat them, fresh and crunchy, or use them for cooking. See? An apple a day really CAN keep the doctor away!

10. Pecans

Pecans are a food with antioxidants? Who knew? I like adding them to my morning cereal for a little extra flavor boost, and now I get the benefit of antioxidants, too.

Wow, look at all these foods with antioxidants! So many of them are berries, but a few of these surprised me, like the beans and pecans! Which of these foods with antioxidants was a shock to you? Which ones will you add to your diet right now? Do tell!
