Phytonutrients are natural compounds found in plant foods like vegetables, fruit, whole grains and legumes.  Many of these compounds are the pigments that give these foods their vibrant colors, and they also help to promote health. Many phytonutrients, for example, act as antioxidants which help to protect cells from damage that naturally occurs during everyday metabolism. About 90% of Americans don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, according to a report from the CDC.
