Phytonutrients

PHYTONUTRIENTS or PHYTOCHEMICALS, are natural active compounds found in plant foods like fruits, vegetables and their juices. They work with other plant nutrients and dietary fiber to help protect against disease and to help promote good health.

These are pronounced “fight-o-nutrients” (or “fight-o-chemicals”), they are believed to have positive effects on health, including acting like antioxidants to inhibit destructive activity that oxidation can cause throughout the body. Some researchers believe there are more than 900 different phytonutrients so far in plant foods and more will be identified and researched in the future.

Names such as lycopene, resveratrol, lutein, limonene and quercetin are starting to become more and more familiar to consumers as research continues to identify why these nutrients make fruits and vegetables so healthy. Although these compounds are not listed on the Nutrition Facts panel of any fruit, vegetable or juice, Mother Nature has put them there for good reason.
