Nutrient from tea tree hybridised with bacon (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

betacarotene

'nutrient' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tea tree hybridised with bacon' is the wordplay.
'hybridised with' indicates an anagram (letters hybridised or mixed up).
'tea'+'tree'='teatree'
'teatree' mixed up with 'bacon' makes 'BETACAROTENE'.

'from' is the link.

(Another definition for betacarotene that I've seen is " Nutrient".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
