LYCOPENE: Good sources of lycopene, according to NAPRALERT (courtesy of

N. R. Farnsworth) and my database include balsampear (to 231 ppm), carrot


(80-140), pot marigold (to 3,360 ppm), rosehips (43-111 ppm),. tomato (16663 ppms), watermelon (45-900 ppm). Confession is good for the soul. This
is all the quantitative data I found for lycopene (except for 260 ppms in seed
of Connarus macrocarpa and 0.6 ppm in Aronia melanocarpa) in both
databases as of Feb. 10, 1996, deriving about half from each database.)
