Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Because these Orac scores are measured in anti-oxidants per ounce of actual food (not per dry weight or per calorie). It makes sense that about 80% of the mass of a plum is simply water. - > > > Tops in Antioxidants > > The Hope Heart Institute > > February 10, 2001 > > > > ORAC* scores for 3.5 ounces > > > > FRUITS > > Prunes 5,770 > > Raisins 2,830 > > Blueberries 2,400 > > Strawberries 1,540 > > Raspberries 1,220 > > Plums 949 > > Oranges 750 > > Red grapes 739 > > Cherries 670 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
