  • Nutrition Tip

    Phytochemicals provide plants with natural protection against disease, sun damage, fungus, and bugs. Many of these naturally-occurring chemicals can also benefit humans by reducing disease risk and stimulating immunity.

    Common foods that contain these phytochemicals include fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and seeds; they are also found in a number of less frequently consumed foods such as licorice, soy, and green tea.

    The tomatoes and garlic in this recipe pack a potent phytonutrient punch.
