Yes, One Square Meal does contain phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are bioactive substances from plants that are receiving nutritional attention because of their health-promoting properties. The ingredients in One Square Meal notable for their phytonutrient content are raisins, dried apricots, rolled oats, wheat flakes and soy protein.

Initially it was thought that fruits and vegetables were the main sources but improved research techniques have uncovered that whole grains, such as oats and wheat, and other foods contain similar amounts of active phytonutrients.

Different plant foods have different phytonutrients and these substances go to different organs, tissues and cells, where they perform different functions. Fresh fruit and vege don’t have the monopoly - what the body needs is the synergistic effect that is produced by eating a wide variety of foods in balanced amounts.
