Best Answer

Hydroxybenzoic acids are polyphenol phytonutrients. They include:

  • Salicylic acid, in blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupes, dates, raisins, kiwi fruits, guavas, apricots, green pepper, olives, tomatoes, radish, mushrooms, chicory, almonds, water chestnuts, and peanuts, helps to reduce pain and inflammation, prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots, prolong the life of food, and potentially reduce your risk of colorectal cancer.
  • Gallic acid, found in raspberries, pomegranate, rooibos and white tea, and grape seeds, is an antioxidant, has antimicrobial properties, and helps regulate cellular communication.
