A cup of red onion has a little over 100 grams. However, the quercetin in natural foods is more bioavailable than in supplements, so you don't need as much.
How much quercetin do we need a day? Not for Covid. I read it’s around 18-24mg? Isn’t 500mg a lot more than we need? Or is that only when you have Covid?
Chicken and other poultry also have zinc.
As far as onions go, the outer layers hold the most quercetin. Red onions have the most, yellow onions next, and white onions the least.
How much red onion to get a day’s supply of quercetin ? I like to pickle mine. Sounds like a nice big bowl of salad will get my zinc and ionosphere

I eat apples, onions, blueberries, broccoli, bell peppers, tomatoes, and pistachios regularly. All of those foods contain quercetin.
I occasionally take a supplement but not on a daily basis.
