Database for the Flavonoid Content of Selected Foods

A big fraction of the posts here at Eating Fabulous identifies foods that are rich in flavonoids, those secondary plant metabolites that confer antioxidant properties, and thus, medicinal value, mostly in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Grapes, red wine, berries, tea… what’s your flavonoid fix of choice?

The US Department of Agriculture has updated its Database for the Flavonoid Content of Selected Foods to include the quantities of 26 different flavonoids found in 168 new foods. So if you want to know just how much of which flavonoid you’re getting in´a serving of which food, have a look at this database (requires MS Access), or download a pdf file.
