Goldenrod is rich in health enriching phytochemicals, and is particularly rich in quercetin.
” In S. gigantea, flavonoid profile was dominated by quercetin glycosides, with quercitrin as the major compound. In S. canadensis, quercetin and kaempferol rutinosides were two major constituents. Caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs) were less diverse with 5-CQA as a main compound.”

LMAO - I was just reading this and was yelling it’s QUERCETIN at the screen. You beat me to it.
Quercetin is a flavonoid and back when we first began to talk about it early in the pandemic I found papers talking about goldenrod being a good source (and antioxidant).
Quercetin is a poor man’s HCQ. That dreaded and deadly drug that Trump (and others) took for Covid.
