Flavonoids are a group of phytonutrients found in all plants on the planet. This group of chemicals can be broken down further into subgroups based on the makeup of their chemical structures. Flavonoids are regarded as a good source of natural antioxidants and are accountable for several different food sources being held up as super healthy foods.

Chemical structures

The functions of compounds within the Flavinoid group are determined by their chemical structure.
