L-Tyrosine is an amino acid which is a building block of protein. Therefore, you are unlikely to find it in most fruit or vegetable sources. According to several different websites the most common sources of tyrosine are cheese, dairy products and meat. Wikipedia lists it as being discovered in a compound in cheese called casein. To my knowledge that compound doesn't exist in vegetable form.
