7 Fruits & Vegetables That Have More Vitamin C Than Oranges

7 Fruits & Vegetables That Have More Vitamin C Than Oranges

Despite what you’ve been told, oranges are not the best sources of vitamin C. We aren’t telling you that you should stop eating oranges, but we are saying that there are other produce items to eat that will fulfill, and exceed, your daily vitamin C requirement.

Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant that is abundant in many fruits and veggies. It helps regenerate tissues, protects the body against heart disease, and aids with the absorption of iron. Do you know where you can get the highest vitamin C sources, though? Below are 7 vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables you should add to your diet.

#1: Kiwis

One kiwi actually has more vitamin C than a single orange. It has a sweet and slightly sour tropical flavor that awakens the taste buds. These go great in smoothies & juices, or you can slice them in half and eat them fresh with a spoon.

#2: Brussels Sprouts

Not only do Brussels sprouts have cholesterol-lowering benefits, but they are also an excellent source of vitamin C. Eat Brussels sprouts with produce rich in vitamins A and E to help the body fight harmful free radicals. These include dark leafy greens, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, or bell peppers.

#3: Parsley

Parsley adds an herbaceous quality to most meals, and it is a great source of vitamin C too! It has many healing properties, showing it is much more than a table garnish. You can add it to sauces, juices, or salad dressings.

#4: Bell Peppers

While kale may be a trending superfood, bell peppers win the battle of having more vitamin C per 100g. Let them ripen to get the most vitamin C out of your bell peppers.

#5: Red Chile Peppers

Red chile peppers light a fire on your tongue and give you a healthy dose of vitamin C. Additionally, chile peppers have capsaicin, which is helpful for skin conditions and arthritis pain.

#6: Guavas

Guavas are a fragrant and delicious tropical fruit that are an awesome source of vitamin C. Guavas are super fruits that can provide you with 528% more than your daily vitamin C requirement. And you only have to eat two a day!

#7: Green Chile Peppers

We are back to chile peppers. Green chile peppers are the grandmaster vitamin C source. While they may be extremely spicy, they can benefit your entire system. Try deseeding them and adding them to smoothies or adding them to fresh salsas.
