Flavonoids
Flavonoids are secondary plant compounds in the hemp plant that are responsible for color and flavor and contribute to the entourage effect.
Etymology and Meaning of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are a group of over 6,000 different secondary plant compounds found in many plants. The term comes from the Latin 'flavus', meaning 'yellow', as many flavonoids produce yellow hues. In the hemp plant, they are not only responsible for color but also for the characteristic flavor. The unique cannflavins (A, B, and C) in cannabis exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, increasing the potential for research in herbal medicine. These compounds interact with other plant substances to support the entourage effect.
