Quercetin belongs to the group ofFlavonoids, which are known as natural plant substances. Its name is derived from the Latin word for oak, "quercus." The bark of the oak tree (Quercus velutina) contains large amounts of this plant pigment. Quercetin is also found in fruits, apples, and onions, capers, and tomatoes, but it is primarily found in the flowers of the Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica), and is particularly well absorbed from this source.

Anyone who wants to benefit from quercetin should eat the corresponding fruits and vegetables unpeeled, as the active ingredient is found in the skin. A peeled apple contains almost no quercetin. Unfortunately, quercetin degrades rapidly in foods during transport and storage. You would also have to eat a lot of quercetin-containing foods to achieve an adequate supply of quercetin. Cooking and frying also significantly reduce the content. The need for quercetin can be increased, especially during periods of stress or when suffering from allergies.
