WELLNESS / Natural sources of Vitamin C

Natural sources of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is found mainly in fresh fruits and vegetables. Including a variety of these in your daily meals is the easiest way to meet your body’s needs and prevent deficiency. Here are some of the best natural sources:

Citrus fruits: Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and sweet limes are among the richest sources.
Berries: Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries provide a good amount of vitamin C and are also high in antioxidants.
Guava: One of the highest sources of vitamin C—much more than citrus fruits.
Kiwi: Just one medium kiwi can supply more than the daily recommended intake.
Papaya and mango: Both tropical fruits contain good levels of vitamin C along with other important nutrients.
Melons: Watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew offer some vitamin C, along with hydration.
Pineapple: A refreshing source that also contains digestive enzymes.
Tomatoes: Both raw and cooked forms contribute to daily intake.
Bell peppers: Especially red and yellow ones, which contain more vitamin C than oranges.
Green leafy vegetables: Spinach, kale, and mustard greens contain moderate amounts.
Broccoli and Brussels sprouts: These cruciferous vegetables are not only rich in vitamin C but also support overall immunity and digestion.

To preserve the vitamin C content in your food:

Eat fruits and vegetables raw or lightly cooked.
Avoid overboiling, as vitamin C is water-soluble and breaks down with heat.
