What foods are sources of phytochemicals?

Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds found in plants that contribute to their color, flavor, and disease resistance. Common sources include fruits (like berries and citrus), vegetables (such as broccoli and spinach), whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Herbs and spices, like garlic, turmeric, and ginger, also contain significant phytochemicals. Consuming a diverse diet rich in these plant-based foods can enhance health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
