Abscisic Acid

Researchers discover how natural drug fights inflammation

The natural drug described here is abscisic acid, which is a plant hormone. It exists in all parts of plants, but high in leaves, seeds and fruits.

Food high in abscisic acid includes carrots, sweet potatoes, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and cereals. However, high temperature cooking can destroy the acid in the plants. Therefore, eating raw or slightly cooked vegetables might be more beneficial to health.
