Vitamin C

The top food choices for vitamin C in the U.S. are oranges and orange juice. However, some other foods contain even more of this important nutrient.

One cup of strawberries, one bell pepper (red and yellow contain more vitamin C than green ones), one kiwifruit, half a papaya, or one cup of cooked broccoli or Brussels sprouts each provide the recommended dietary allowance for vitamin C.
