Foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley, onions, blueberries and strawberries, black tea, bananas, and citrus fruits. [11] One study found high flavonoid content in buckwheat. [12] Citrus flavonoids include hesperidin (a glycoside of the flavanone hesperetin), quercitrin, rutin (two glycosides of quercetin, and the flavone tangeritin.
Citrus fruits are rich in flavonoids. Getty Images Flavonoids , found in citrus fruits, green tea, berries, apples, onions, and cocoa, are known to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol, making ...

A study published in the journal Foods reported that dried apricots are rich in flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolics and they have strong antioxidant activity. Apricots also provide vitamins A ...
Flavones. Molecular structure of the flavone backbone with numbers. Flavones (from Latin flavus "yellow") are a class of flavonoids based on the backbone of 2-phenylchromen-4-one (2-phenyl-1- benzopyran -4-one) (as shown in the first image of this article). [1][2] Flavones are common in foods, mainly from spices, and some yellow or orange ...
New research suggests that following a diet rich in flavonoid-heavy foods is linked to an up to 28% lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
Flavonols are a class of flavonoids that have the 3-hydroxyflavone backbone (IUPAC name: 3-hydroxy-2-phenylchromen-4-one). Their diversity stems from the different positions of the phenolic –OH groups. They are distinct from flavanols (with "a") such as catechin, another class of flavonoids, and an unrelated group of metabolically important ...
