What the heck are Flavanoids? Flavanoids are antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine - plant nutrients that belong to the polyphenol family. They are GOOD FOR YOU. Flavanoids are responsible for brilliant blues, purples, and greens, as well as yellows, oranges, and reds which cannot be attributed to carotenoids (found in carrots). Carotenoids are fat-soluble, while flavanoids are predominantly water-soluble. Flavanoids are found in more concentrated forms in red wine, green tea, and soy products, as well as many common fruits and veggies. Research links them to reduced risks for cancer, heart disease, and other age-related degenerative diseases, as well as antioxidant protection of body fluids such as blood. They also may help prevent stroke, flu, tooth decay, and other ailments. So to keep us all healthy, here's a list of the foods that contain the most flavanoids per serving.
