The link below contains very valuable information about many fruits

and vegetables, including nutritional information, and about the

phytochemicals they contain. The site also includes recipes that are

inappropriate for vegetarians. Take what you like and leave the rest.

The following link explains why phytochemicals exist, what they do

for plants and how animals use them.

 

There are absolutely fantastic microphotos of the molecular structure

of phytochemicals on this site.

The last site I will list here offers a rather long list of reference

materials on research that has been conducted on phytochemicals.

 

I have nowhere near exhausted the wealth of information available

about phytochemicals that is available on the net. I hope this post

has served to pique your interest and spurs you on to not only learn

more, but to become as concerned about getting your phytochemicals as

you are about getting your vitamins and minerals.
