Have you heard about the ORAC score??
The ORAC unit (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), ORAC value, or ORAC score is a method developed by scientists at the National Institute of Health and Aging (NIH) to measures the antioxidant capacity of different foods.
While the exact relationship between the ORAC value of a food and its health benefit has not been fully established, it is generally believed that foods with higher ORAC scores have greater antioxidant capacity, and more effectively neutralise harmful free radicals.
What I found really amazing was that our spices have really high ORAC values!!
- Spices, cloves, ground 314446
- Spices, cinnamon, ground 267536
- Spices, turmeric, ground 159277
No wonder, they were recommended for thousand of years as food supplements in our daily meals!!
