Lycopene rich foods (includes grapefruit, red peppers & sweet gourd) Lycopene is a simple chemical compound and part of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is accountable for the vivid red hue of a good number of fruit and vegetables. Fortunately, unlike most other vitamins, lycopene not only survives being cooked, but is essentially improved by the cooking process. . Its key advantage is that it behaves as an antioxidant and is thought to help to lower the probabilty of developing cancer.
