Flavanols are prized plant compounds that exhibit uniquely powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. They appear to be especially helpful for cardiovascular health and brain health. Here are the foods that contain highest amounts of flavanols :

• Cocoa
• Dark chocolate (70% or higher cacao)
• Green, black and oolong tea (with matcha having the most)
• Apples
• Berries
• Red/purple grapes
• Cherries
• Almonds
