Portabella and crimini (Italian, brown, resemble white) mushrooms reportedly rank as high as broccoli and red peppers in cancer-fighting prowess, one study suggests. The two fungi carry an Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (ORAC) rating or 9.7 and 9.5, respectably, compared with 12 for broccoli, 10 for red peppers, and 5 for carrots and green beans. ORAC measures a food's antioxidant activity. With that in mind, try a portabella mushroom sandwich with roasted red peppers for a huge health boost!
