Fruits containing vitamin C

Finding fruits containing vitamin C is quite easy. Belive me, you don't have to look that hard. All you need is a quick visit to your local fruit store, and more than likely, in more than one of those fruit stands, you will find an abundant supply of fruit that contain vitamin C.

There is one thing that you might not be aware of in regards to fruits containing vitamin C; It is important to knwow that not all fruits are equal when it comes to how much vitamin C the have within them. Another important fact to add to this is that the fruits that people commonly thought to have high amounts of vitamin C, actually have far less in comparison to the others containing this important nutrient. One perfect example of this would be the over-rated orange.

For quite a while now, the orange has been displaying itself to the public as the symbol of vitamin C. Most of the time when there is a commercial or story related to this nutrient, you would find the orange sitting at its side. Somehow, this sneaky fruit seemed to steal the spot light from big contenders like the acerola, tropical guava, baobab, and the champion of all, carrying thirty times more vitamin C than the orange, the one and only, camu camu!

Now before you decide to go on a major tour that will take you into the depths of the Amazon rainforest, and where you might have to come face to face with some really nasty creatures that you haven't even heard of, just so that you can get your healthy dose of vitamin C, take a deep breath and listen up first. Just by drinking one glass of some freshly squeezed orange juice; you will be getting more than the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C for the day. Still want more? No problem! There are many other fruits like the guava, peppers and the kiwi (which has four times more vitamin C than the orange) that you can easily find in your neighbourhood fruit store.

Good luck on your quest for vitamin C!
