Good sources of flavonoids include apples, apricots, blueberries, pears, raspberries, strawberries, black beans, cabbage, onions, parsley, pinto beans, and tomatoes. A good rule of thumb for determining where the flavonoid goldmines are is to look for the most colorful components of foods. For example, the skin often contains the highest concentration of flavonoids. Some serious indications that you aren't getting enough flavonoids in your diet are easy bruising, nosebleeds, swelling after injuries and a weak immune system that makes you more susceptible to colds and infections. Believe it or not, flavonoids are useful in preventing or treating, allergies, asthma, yeast infections, diabetes, gout, hemorrhoids, migraine, stomach ulcers and varicose veins.
