  • Welcome to the wonderful world of herbalism. Plants make tons of beneficial (and to a lesser extent harmful) chemicals for animals like us. Plants can’t move so they use chemical to both deter and attract animals. Something like a fruit is supposed to be eaten which distributes the seeds so plants load them up on attractive chemicals (mostly sugars) so animals want to eat them. Since we all (plants and animals alike) share similar biochemistry it’s simple for plants to make hormones that we also use. Some of the presence is “intentional” and some is not.

    To answer your question every fruit and vegetable has beneficial quantities similar to what you mentioned. The wider variety you eat the better.
