Thank you for this information.  Not sure how important it may be.  But the following link may be helpful on this topic:

(Nor do I know the reliability of the data in the above link.)

Given the data in the table in my previous post to this thread, which gave the quercetin content of foods per 100g, I have now calculated the quercetin content of these foods (at least those available at grocery stores here and for which data are accessible at CRON-o-Meter) in mg per 1000 calories.

 

On this basis, the most prolific source of quercetin on that list appears to be fresh dill - containing 1281 mg of quercetin per 1000 calories.  Close behind in second is capers at 913.  Then various different varieties of onions contain amounts between 400mg and 500mg.  Raw unsweetened cranberries contain 307, then a fairly large drop to the remaining items. 

  

So, as suspected before calculating the numbers, onion seems to be the most sensible readily available source of quercetin.  There are several weird food items on that list for which I didn't bother to calculate the numbers as they are either only rarely available, or I have never heard of them, or they are unlikely to be palatable in appreciable quantities.  Among these are various hot peppers, a variety of weird berries and some strange leaves - lovage, dock and sweet potato. 

 

FWIW
