Using a lab testing procedure called Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), Dr. Ronald Prior, lead researcher at the USDA Arkansas Children鈥檚 Nutrition Center and Agricultural Research Service, found that a one-cup serving of Wild Blueberries had more total antioxidant capacity (TAC) than a serving of cranberries, strawberries, plums, raspberries and even cultivated blueberries.
