This is excerpted from About.com:

Foods are considered to be the preferred way of boosting antioxidant levels because they're thought to contain a wide array of antioxidant substances. Many of the them are also high in vitamins, minerals and fiber.

A USDA study analyzed the antioxidant content of commonly consumed foods. Researchers tested over 100 foods. Here is a ranked list of the top 20 fruits, vegetables and nuts:

Small red bean (dried), 1/2 cup
Wild blueberry, 1 cup
Red kidney bean (dried), 1/2 cup[br[
Pinto bean, 1/2 cup
Blueberry (cultivated), 1 cup
Cranberry, 1 cup (whole)
Artichoke (cooked hearts), 1 cup
Blackberry, 1 cup
Prune, 1/2 cup
Raspberry, 1 cup
Strawberry, 1 cup
Red delicious apple, 1
