Raw is the best way to eat fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C, which is very sensitive to heat. Keep your family healthy this holiday season and choose from this list of six fruits and vegetables to receive the recommended amount of Vitamin C (and notice that apples aren’t on the list):
Because Vitamin C is water soluble you need to eat foods rich in Vitamin C every day. The daily recommendation for Vitamin C is 60 mg. a day for adults, and 50 mg. a day for children.
Orange (1=70 mg)
Grapefruit (1=88 mg)
Red Pepper raw (1=226 mg)
Mango (1=60 mg)
Kiwi (1=74 mg)
Broccoli raw (1/2 cup=93 mg)
Not all apples are created equal, nor particularly high in vitamin C. Apple by apple, this chart tells you all.

Do you want a fruit that has four times the Vitamin c present in the orange and about five times that of another Vitamin C rich fruit, the lemon.
Yes, it is there, guava

Thanks for the article.
Lemons seem to be overlooked in the vitamin C search. I think their sour flavor is a result of Ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
Thank you
Thanks for the postie. informative info
I think someone needs to upset the applecart and bring that apple chart fast forward into the 21st century. I recognise only two apples that are familiar Granny Smith and Sturmer. Jonathan? The apple market has changed a lot since 1946 and 1947.
Thanks, I eat 2 oranges a day and often eat Kiwi, both are juicylicious
yummy thanks!
Thank you.
