Super foods containing lycopene (includes melon, red bell peppers & rosehip) The phytochemical lycopene is a simple coloring compound and one of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. It is responsible for the red color of many fruit, vegetables and pulses. Unlike many other nutrients, it is not damaged during the cooking process, but is actually strengthened by going through the cooking process. . Lycoprene's most important medical value is that it works as an antioxidant and appears to help to reduce the chances of cancer. Lycopene is the most efficacious carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It is also thought to hamper the progression of atherosclerosis.
