These 7 Fruits Have The Most Vitamin C
Up your vitamin C intake with these juicy fruits.
Vitamin C is one of the most talked about essential nutrients, and for good reason. The vitamin helps heal wounds, acts as an antioxidant, and promotes iron absorption in our bodies.
Health Canada recommends consuming about 75 to 90 mg of vitamin C per day, depending on your age and gender.
Luckily, one of the easiest ways to up your intake is also the most delicious—fruit! These are the fruits with the highest vitamin C content per suggested serving.
