Wow what a list! Very interesting to read. So am I to understand that the most "anti-oxident" is the very first item listed: red beans?

How did artichokes get on there? I'm glad red delicious and gala apples got on the list--we grow them here.

Yep and they're two of my favorites...Red Beans and Red Kidney Beans.

So many things on that list are so tasty too. The Master Gardener knows what He's doing, huh.
