'''Ellagic acid''' is a ] found in numerous fruits and vegetables. It is the ] of ]. | |||

The name comes from the French term ''acide ]'', from the word ''galle'' spelled backward<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://artflx.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/dicos/pubdico1look.pl?strippedhw=ellagique&dicoid=LITTRE1872 |title=ellagique |last=Littré |first=Émile |website=Dictionnaire de la langue française}}</ref> because it can be obtained from ''noix de galle'' (]s), and to distinguish it from ''acide gallique'' (]).
