Rutin

Rutin is found in many plants, especially in buckwheat, Rue (Ruta graveolens), flower buds of Sophara japonica, eucalyptus leaves, Dimorphandra Mollis (Fava d’Anta) from the North-East of Brazil and in many other plants.  Rutin is a flavonol glycoside that belongs to the group of derivatives of flavone, generally described as a bioflavonoid.
