# '''[[w:Phenolic acid|Phenolic acid]]s''' or '''phenolcarboxylic acids''' are types of [[w:aromatic acid|aromatic acid]] compound (Wikipedia). This group accounts for around 30% of all polyphenols. Examples include stilbenes and lignans, which are mostly found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and seeds.<ref name="HealthLinePolyphenols"/> | |||
