flavonoid
Antioxidant plant compound
Flavonoids are a class of plant compounds found in fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine.
They give many flowers and fruits their color—the purple of grapes, the red of berries.
Flavonoids have antioxidant properties and appear frequently in nutrition research: Foods high in flavonoids may reduce inflammation.
The category includes thousands of individual compounds.
