We all know we should try to get our five a day (or seven if we're being really sensible), but which fruits and vegetables are the best to eat?

Researchers at William Paterson University of New Jersey aimed to find out by defining "powerhouse fruit and vegetables" which could help to tackle chronic disease.

They tested 47 different types of fruit and vegetables for their levels of 17 nutrients - the foods were scored by their content of Potassium, Fibre, Protein, Calcium, Iron, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Zinc, and Vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K. So here's the link to the actual website, Huffington post with the actual list. There are six (raspberries, tangerines, cranberries, garlic, onions and blueberries) that didn't make the list itself.
