Muscadine grapes
While they look like the typical blue grapes, Muscadine grapes are a little bigger and thicker, and pack more nutrients than your standard bunch.

Resveratrol has been linked to lower blood sugar, contains strong anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer) properties (lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease. At present, these berries are hard to comeso I take the resveratrol supplement on a daily basis.
Maqui Berry
I am a big fan of Food Network, and I had heard mention of this berry Rachel Ray just to show their culinary skills. This sparked me to look further into this berry. Maqui berry is the highest rank food on the Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity Scale (ORAC). This test measures the antioxidant activity of foods. Just to put things in perspective: Blueberry juice is an ORAC value of 3,000 andMacqui juice has an ORAC value of 40,000! Due to the high antioxidants in the berries, it is assumed to rid the body of toxins and may help with weight control. Macqui berry has been used in traditional medicine to help symptoms of sore throat, diarrhea and treatment of ulcers.
Acerola
Acerola is also known as Amazon or Barbados cherry. I have seen greater progress in grocery Acerola already. This fruit contains 40 times more vitamin C than an orange and a testComparison of the antioxidant to 11 other fruits, acerola came out on top. In July 2008 Absolut Vodka came out with a limited edition vodka with Acerola with blueberries, acai and pomegranate mixed. You will probably encounter these berries in desserts and jams.

Grown in Australia, Africa and Madagascar, these super foods appears to have everything: iron, vitamin C, calcium, (2x the amount) of the milk protein in its seeds and phosphorus for bone, fiber and a numberof electrolytes.
