I know that phytochemicals are from plants ut just wondering would vegetables like cabbage contain them??
Phytochemicals are plant- or fruit-derived chemical compounds. "Phytonutrients" refer to phytochemicals or compounds that come from edible plants.
Foods high in phytonutrients, or superfoods[6], are:
soy – protease inhibitors, beta sitosterol, saponins, phytic acid, isoflavones tomato – lycopene, beta carotene, vitamin C broccoli – vitamin C, 3,3′-Diindolylmethane, sulphoraphane, lignans, selenium garlic – thiosulphonates, limonene, quercitin flax seeds and oil seeds – lignans citrus fruits – monoterpenes, coumarin, cryptoxanthin, vitamin C, ferulic acid, oxalic acid blueberries – tannic acid, lignans, anthocyanins sweet potatoes – beta carotene chilli peppers – capsaicin legumes: beans, peas, lentils – omega fatty acids, saponins, catechins, quercetin, lutein, lignans
Other foods rich in phytonutrients or superfoods: Apples – quercetin, catechins, tartaric acid Açaí berries – dietary fiber, anthocyanins, omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, protein, beta-sitosterol, polyphenols. Açaí is the highest scoring plant food (spices excepted) for antioxidant ORAC value[8] Dried apricots Artichoke – silymarin, caffeic acid, ferulic acid Brassicates: kale, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower – lutein Carrots – beta-carotene Cocoa – flavonoids, epicatechin Purple corn – anthocyanins Cranberries – ellagic acid, anthocyanins Eggplant Gac – beta-carotene, lycopene Goji (wolfberry) – ellagic acid, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, lutein, lycopene, riboflavin, vitamin C, copper, selenium, zinc, protein[9] Pink grapefruit – lycopene Red grapes and wine – quercitin, resveratrol, catechins, ellagic acid Green tea – quercetin, catechins, oxalic acid Mangos – cryptoxanthin Mangosteen – xanthones Nuts and seeds – resveratrol, phytic acid, phytosterols, protease inhibitors Porridge oats soluble fibre magnesium, zinc Okra — beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin Olive oil – monounsaturated fat, hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, oleocanthal Onions – quercetin, thiosulphonates Papaya – cryptoxanthin Bell peppers – beta-carotene, vitamin C Pomegranate – vitamin C, tannins, especially punicalagins Pumpkin – lignans, carotene Quinoa dietary fiber, protein without gluten with balanced essential amino acids Sea buckthorn – vitamin C, tocopherols, carotenoids, polyphenols, polyunsaturated fatty acids[10] Sesame – lignans Shiitake mushrooms Spinach – oxalic acid, lutein, zeaxanthin squash Watermelon – lycopene zeaxanthin, sulphoraphane, indole-3-carbinol Spirulina – beta-carotene this is the list from wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytochemical) but even though the list on wiki doesnt have cabbage on it this other website says tht Cabbage contains a long list of phytochemicals.
