Quercetin is a flavonoid and, to be more specific, a flavonol.

Flavonoids - "Flavonoids are most commonly known for their antioxidant activity. However, it is now known that the health benefits they provide against cancer and heart disease are the result of other mechanisms. Flavonoids are also commonly referred to as bioflavonoids in the media – the terms are largely equivalent and interchangeable, for most flavonoids are biological in origin." ³

Quercetin chemical structure

It is the aglycone form of a number of other flavonoid glycosides, such as rutin and quercitrin, found in citrus fruit & onions. Quercetin forms the glycosides quercitrin and rutin together with rhamnose and rutinose, respectively.
