The fruit and vegetable contain an antioxidant called quercetin - which provides "anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties".

It also causes the release of histamine - which helps the body get rid of allergens.

Eating fatty fish, such as salmon, can also help alleviate symptoms due to it containing omega-3 fatty acids.

However, Rhysa Phommachanh, a health specialist at Landys Chemist, has stressed that there is still no cure for hay fever.

She said: "Foods rich in quercetin, such as apples, onions, and broccoli, have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.

"There is no 'cure' for hay fever, but there are a range of treatments available that can lessen the severity of symptoms."
