The Formidable Book of Flavonoids

I sit and gaze, and wait with poise;
To dream in colors by plants employed;
Of yellows, purples, yet greens devoid;
We heed the call of flavonoids.


To see the daisy, petals deployed;
A splash of gold in fields conjoined;
And the purple bud, that calls so coy;
It speaks to us in flavonoids

Understanding Flavonoids and Synergy in Cannabis

The second textbook in the Cannabis Chemistry Collection, The Formidable Book of Flavonoids features a comprehensive “101” style chapter that discusses the history, specifications, biological uses by plants, biosynthesis, flavonoid classes, chemical structure, molecular variations, human metabolism, and occurrence of flavonoids in cannabis. An additional chapter details the existence of synergy among these flavonoids and other chemical constituents of cannabis, medicines, and other compounds, and an early chapter is dedicated to the world’s leading flavonoid researchers and scientists.

The Formidable Book of Flavonoids closely follows The Big Book of Terps in styling, presentation, data points and specifications, layout, font, format, citations and references, indexation, and all other features so that readers can expect a consistent experience across all texts in the Cannabis Chemistry Collection.

This scientific textbook exhaustively covers the 21 top flavonoid constituents known or theorized to occur in cannabis, including classes such as anthocyanins, flavonols, and flavandiols, among others. Each flavonoid compound has a dedicated chapter, detailing precise specifications, chemical structure, specific known molecular variations, occurrences in plants including cannabis, biological uses in plants, uses in insects and microbes, commercial and industrial uses, and potential and actual medical and therapeutic uses in humans.

The Formidable Book of Flavonoids features 23 quizzes and 1 final exam. A comprehensive index makes reference work simple and fast. With 947 detailed AMA style citations displayed inline on each page, researchers, students, stakeholders and other interested parties are able to quickly verify all claims made.

This book is used in colleges and universities around the world, and forms the basis for our university-level Flavonoids 101 and Flavonoids 201 classes.

The Formidable Book of Flavonoids Edition 1 is available only as a large hardcover textbook, with an official on-sale date of 4/20/2025.
