Foods richest in Lycopene

Lycopene is a naturally occurring compound that gives fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, watermelons, and pink grapefruits, their red color. It is a powerful antioxidant that may help protect against certain types of cancer and heart disease. There is no specific daily requirement for lycopene established by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the Institute of Medicine. However, consuming a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in lycopene, such as tomatoes, watermelons, and pink grapefruits, is recommended as part of a healthy diet. Some studies suggest that consuming 5-15 mg of lycopene per day may be beneficial for maintaining good health.
Note that for foods in dehydrated or powder form, 100 grams or 1 oz may be a big quantity, that cannot be consumed within one day. In this case, consider other foods in the following table.
