"ArtichokeHearts" news and stories

Study: Blackberries, Concord grape juice, walnuts tops in antioxidants

Did you know that blackberries and artichoke hearts have higher antioxidant levels than chocolate, coffee, tea or red wine, for that matter? Me neither.

A recent study of 1,000 foods and beverages shows that the top five are blackberries, Welch's 100% Grape Juice, Ocean Mist artichoke hearts, walnuts and strawberries. These items beat out blueberries, red wine, chocolate, coffee and tea, all often cited for high levels of antioxidants. The real surprise to me was the artichoke hearts. Guess I'll have to start eating more antipasto.

The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Oslo, Norway, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and the University of Minnesota.
