The term phytonutrients is  a broad name for a wide variety of compounds produced by plants. Theyâre found in fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, and other plants. Each phytonutrient comes from a variety of different plant sources and has different proposed effects on, and benefits for, the body. Some researchers estimate there are up to 4,000 phytonutrients! Scientists have identified thousands of them, although only a small fraction of phytonutrients have been studied closely.
The Moche civilization (also known as the Mochica) flourished along the northern coast and valleys of ancient Peru, in particular, in the Chicama and Trujillo Valleys, between 1 CE and 800 CE.
These original residents established the village of Sinyeweche on the banks of the San Diego River in the present day Santee area. The city is named after Milton Santee, the second husband of Jennie Blodgett, whose first husband was George A. Cowles, a pioneer rancher and businessperson in the San Diego County area.
