Flavonol Rich Foods
When processed properly, dark chocolate has more antioxidants than any food known on the planet. So it really doesn't matter what the cocoa content is if the beans are not processed property. Commercial processing destroys most of the fragile antioxidants. The only way you can be sure you are getting the health benefits is to choose a chocolate that has been certified for the amount of antioxidants as well as the amount of flavonoids. Also, choose a chocolate that has no processed sugars (even organic processed sugars!), no bad fats nor caffeine.
