You are what you eat: Quercetin 3‐ O ‐glucoside‐7‐ O ‐rhamnoside is a rare natural product with potential biological importance. We describe a strategy for the regioselective synthesis of this bisglycoside by feeding quercetin 3‐ O ‐glucoside, a naturally abundant precursor, to metabolically engineered Escherichia coli.
