Best Sources of Resveratrol

Now you know the benefits of resveratrol in your diet, you may be wondering what the best source of this compound is. These are the best foods and beverages to add to your diet (albeit in moderation) in order to consume more resveratrol:

• Red grapes and red wine. In case you’re wondering, white wine has some too but much lower amounts since the grapes’ skins are removed earlier in the wine-making process.

• Certain types of traditional teas, including Itadori tea, common in Asian countries

• Raw cocoa (dark chocolate)

• Lingonberries

• Blueberries

• Mulberries

• Bilberries

• Cranberries

• Pistachios

• Although I don’t generally don’t recommend eating them often, peanuts and soy are other resveratrol sources.
