Are betalains considered as flavonoids

Both do act as pigments in plants, but no, Betalains are not classed as flavonoids.

 

Most red colouration in plants is due to carotenoids and flavonoids. However Betalains have a much more limited distribution. Betalains are restricted exclusively to plants of the order Caryophyllales (cacti, carnations, amaranths etc.)
