Quercetin
Quercetin is found in food. It is a flavonoid. Flavonoids are water-soluble plant pigments, which are responsible for the antioxidant capacity of fruits and plants.
Quercetin is the most abundant flavonoid in vegetables and fruits and has been the most widely studied to determine the biological effects of flavonoids [source].
