Getting your recommended dose of fruits & vegetables can be harder than you think. Most Americans fall short of the recommended 5-13 servings of fruits & vegetables. Phytonutrients can help fill in that gap, leading to a healthier lifestyle and better overall health. The health benefits of phytonutrients are believed to come from the compounds that give these foods their vibrant reds, yellows, greens and other rich colors. Some phytonutrients, like lycopene from tomatoes or carotenoids found in oranges and carrots may sound familiar, but many others such as lutein found in greens, like spinach and broccoli or allicin found in garlic, are just being recognized.
