It is a well known fact that plants and vegetables provide us with an abundance of wellness in the form of bioactive compounds. Phytochemicals—the bioactive non-nutrient plant compounds present in fruits, vegetables, grains, and other plant foods—have been linked to reductions in the risk of major chronic diseases. Largely responsible for the rich colour and distinctive odour of plants, they are classified according to their chemical structures and functional properties. The terminologies used to describe phytochemicals are flavonoids, flavonols, proanthocyanidins, and procyanidins.
Some of the health benefits of phytochemicals include prevention of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and reduction of free radicals in the body. They play a huge role in the stimulation of enzymes and have anti-inflammatory properties.
