Phytochemicals
Phyto, a prefix of Greek
origins, bears the meaning of plants.
Phytochemicals are, therefore, chemicals derived from plants.
Some chemicals in the plant serve as nutrients and are called
phytonutrients. Phytochemicals are often referred to as chemicals
produced to protect the plants.
Humans have since learned how to use phytochemicals for their
health benefits - such as protecting ourselves against diseases.
