Flavonoids

Flavonoids are a group of substances produced by plants that function as antioxidants. Dill weed contains four flavonoids including quercetin which continues to be studied for its potential health benefits. One tablespoon of fresh dill weed provides 1 milligram of quercetin about the same amount you would get from one half cup of sweet green peppers. Quercetin prevents inflammation and may also reduce the risk of cancer.
