What foods contain the best antioxidants?

Antioxidants are found in a wide variety of foods, specifically fruits and vegetables, and even more specifically the skins of the fruits and vegetables. It's important to have a wide variety and colour spectrum of these fruits and vegetables. For example, the blueberry: how many other blue foods can you think of? There aren't too many. Therefore you need to make sure you have something in that colour spectrum to ensure you have all the antioxidants covered. Another good example is the carrot, the carotenoids. Another example of that is the pumpkin. It's still in the carotenoid family. It's that same colour spectrum. So, you need to have all the colour spectrums possible, and that's why it's important to have a very colourful plate.
