ORAC Value of Antioxidant Fruit
The ORAC Value of a food is the measurement of Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. The higher the ORAC score, the more capable that particular food is of destroying free radicals, thus retarding the aging process and other diseases.
The ORAC Value is a laboratory measurement and its relevance to the diet is unclear.
There are a number of foods that contain ORAC, incluing: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and many other foods. Brightly colored foods are good indicators of ORAC. Nearly all the ORAC value is found in the skin of these foods.
The ORAC Rating of a food is synonymous with the antioxidant value.

The ORAC Value chart shows that all antioxidant capacity measures are estimated by Ferric Reducing Power and are expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent (TE) per 100 grams or 3.53 ounces, accurate to ±5%.
